I've found a potential workaround to this issue...

1) Add "feh" package to the live installation.
2) Remove lines 400-403 from 
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/utopic/ubiquity/utopic/view/head:/bin/ubiquity-dm#L400

To test...
1) Boot live image.
2) Switch to TTY1
3) Comment out lines 400-403 in the above file.
4) Install the "feh" package.
5) Stop processes: sudo stop lightdm ; sudo stop ubiquity ; sudo pkill -9 X
6) Start ubiquity: sudo start ubiquity

Ubiquity now displays the background.
