Thanks for report.

I've seen this on drives which use msdos logical/extended partitioning.

This has been fixed in upstream curtin here:

https://git.launchpad.net/curtin/commit/?id=4bf7750b6010f0483b22ff626eab58d6a85bb072

At some point the live installer will pick up the newer curtin release with this fix included.
