I get this failure with I choose "use all, review+modify" or if I choose "custom layout, and try to delete /dev/sda1". In the latter case, the partition was a bog-standard 200M type 83 active partition. I was able to use fdisk and remove the partition without incident and restarting the install worked as expected.
