how are you installing the 'plain' ubuntu distro, is this the mini.iso
or are you installing Ubuntu with unity?
I have installed lubuntu-desktop on top of other DE before and I have
not had any issues, but if you are installing on an environment with
ibus already included the language support might be broken in ibus, and
you can switch to fcitx (which is used by Lubuntu now IIRC).

The preseed is used to create the ISO and the subsequent install to
disk. It is used by the Debian installer (ubiquity is the Ubuntu
graphical installer front end to this).  So, if you are trying to
install the meta-package 'lubuntu-desktop' you will have the Lubuntu
install on top of whatever you install.
If you install 'lxde' then you will not get 'lubuntu-desktop' installed
ONLY lxde

To see the difference between the packages run

apt show lubuntu-desktop

apt show lxde

If you are using an older version use 'apt-cache' instead of 'apt'

I hope this clears things up a bit
