Bear, I'm curious about how exactly you installed. This does sound like 
a bug, but I'm curious what ubiquity said during the process, etc. Did 
you do an entire disk install? Do it say "upgrade"? If you are able, 
recreating the issue would be most interesting.

I would file the bug with ubuntu-bug ubiquity on the system you 
installed. It should contain some info about what happened in the 
install log.
