Before adding "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted" to sources.list and doing `apt install ubiquity` I had this in syslog:

After the update a newly started installation went just fine.
I can confirm that the package version from bionic-proposed solves the problem.
During an installation I used Dell 2715Q with settings as in the screenshot attached (single monitor mode, 200% scaling).
