I started digging into the source, and I seem to have spotted the problem. The source package of gfxboot-theme-ubuntu seems nowadays to be packed as xz, and no more as gz tarball.

Try the following:

Edit /usr/lib/uck/customization-profiles/localized_cd/customize_iso
and change in line ~84 (the longest line in the whole file) the part

... $(zgrep gz ...
into
... $(zgrep xz ...

and three lines later
change

tar xfz *.tar.gz ||
into
tar xfJ *.tar.xz ||

(This is just a workaround, for an official patch a solution has to be found to work with both gz and xz packed files.)
