Ok so, this problem seems to be caused by running ubiquity within a
liveboot that was booted from an iso file on the hdd (in my case I used
grub2's loopback interface). It would seem that the migration assistant
wanted to access other files on the partition that had the iso on it and
refused to run without unmounting the partition, which I assumed
wouldn't be good for the live system.
Simply calling ubiquity using "ubiquity --no-migration-assistant" from
the command line instead of the shortcut on the live desktop prevented
the migration assistant from complaining.
It would be nice if ubiquity could tell that the liveboot came from an
iso file that is still mounted, (ie check if the /isodevice (created I
assume by grub2) mount folder exists and offer to not run the migration
assistant, either at all or give a warning and then use the assistant on
the other partitions that it can access.
ALL IN ALL THIS ISN'T REALLY A BUG!
