Thanks for your report.

The failure is caused by not enough space on the target drive:

"The failure is caused by not enough space on the target drive:"

There was another bug that was similar to this one that mentioned there not being enough space on the HD, so I made sure to check the space while it was being installed, and there was plenty of space. The target root partition was 10GB and was empty before I started installing. The target home partition was 20GB and also empty before install. When the error happened there was still 8GB free on the / partition.
