I was able to reproduce this issues with the version of ubiquity in kubuntu 8.04.2. I attempted to reproduce the issue with the version of ubiquity in hardy-proposed, 1.8.14, while running within the 8.04.2 livecd environment and can confirm that it fixes the crash; however, a partition with a unicode mount point is not displayed correctly in the manual partitioner, but the installation continues to completion.
I also verified that this issue and bug 247993 are not present in the ubiquity GTK frontend in the 8.04.3 daily livecd snapshot (as well as not being present in the 8.04.2 ubuntu images before I realized this issue was specific to the KDE frontend). Attached is a screenshot of how the attempted mount point /ũûúù-çǺª was displayed by the partitioner, though the mount point did get created correctly. Given that kubuntu isos won't be respun for 8.04.3, that this issue is not addressed perfectly but does improve the situation (for hypothetical users who updated ubiquity before installing or for kubuntu respins) and doesn't appear to introduce any regressions, I don't believe the display issue is worth blocking the update.
