I can confirm this bug is still present while installing Ubuntu 16.04.2 amd64 (using mini.iso under qemy-system-x86_64). I selected expert command-line install, made all the steps manually, selected a "normal installation" but the installer fails on "Install the system" step. Looking into syslog, for each attempt, I can see:
base-installer: error: Could not find any live images
