Thanks so much Maxime. Indeed it seems that there is no bug here. I didn't see anything in the change logs for the debian-installer package it self. But lo and behold, based on your tip, I found that it was indeed changed in the Installation Guide docs.
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/amd64/boot-parms.html #installer-args So just a change. Not a bug.
