Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
After manual partitioning installer stopped/froze displaying "5% - creating a filesystem" message. I've found a suspicious program (/sbin/mount.ntfs) using process list that looked like the reason of the trouble. After killing it the installation process continued correctly and then the final message was shown. After that the /target, /target/data and /target/mnt/winxp partitions were left mounted, while other /target/mnt/* partitions were unmounted correctly. Looks like some problem with fuse and/or ntfs-3g to me. I admit, I have a complicated disk layout, with separate home partition (mounted as /data and symlinked), many Linux partitions and several of them are even unformatted. Since I was able to complete the install, the problem I described is not a big deal for me. I wonder, however, if other people may find themselves in the same situation.
