It seems the issue was with the locale handling from libtextwrap. Both
the newt and text plugins from cdebconf seemed to use textwrap() one way
or another which was failing on mblen() when the locale was not
correctly identified. This was causing all the <ERR> displays whenever
an UTF-8 string was supposed to be wrapped and displayed in the
installer. Colin remembered that in the past there seemed to be issues
with the installation-locale C.UTF-8 locale requiring a rebuild against
the newer glibc - and in this case it seemed to be the case indeed.
Colin uploaded a no-change rebuild just now, so I would expect it to be
good soon.

Bug description:
  Lubuntu's alternate installer has a problem.

  The texts in the dialogue in Swedish is faulty (in several but not all
  dialogue boxes). I have to guess based on my memory from earlier
  installations. This must be fixed before the final release.

  Anyway, I was able to install a system using the whole drive according
  to the test case in the iso testing tracker. So it seems that the
  (only?) problem here is how the texts in the dialogue are managed.

  This bug affects Lubuntu alternate Bionic beta 1.

  I installed Lubuntu in my Toshiba laptop (on bare metal),
