Yes, the password check in the installer is still not in sync with the
check in g-c-c.

Title:
  Ubuntu should encourage stronger passwords using stronger algorithms,
  note i18n issues

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When you set the password during the installation or also when you
  change it via the gnome-control-center you can insert a weak password
  (like "123456" or "qwerty" or "abcdef" or "password" itself) without
  any alerts, or so on.

  The suggestion is a password strength verification that includes the most used passwords (like "1234" or "qwerty") and a dictionary that includes the word password in every language.
  A special attention to language like Spanish where "password" is "contraseña", and where is the character "ñ" which can be recognize as a special symbol.
