All that needed to be done was remove the logical volume. I booted off gparted iso and from the cli lvremove <<vg_name>> Rebooted and booted with the OS iso. The preseed was able to partition the disk w/o any issue. However grub failed per https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666974. The workaround mentioned in the bug helped. I can work around it if I set grub-installer/only_debian to false, as this skips directly to step 2 which then obeys the preseeded bootdev properly. Finally the OS got installed via preseed.
