Big has been fixed on Nov 29 release.
Comment 2 Jonathan Riddell 2017-12-05 15:30:15 UTC
This bug is still a problem

Looking at neon-devedition-gitunstable-20170813-0806-amd64.iso

Old images had grub-efi-amd64-bin on the image while newer ones do not

Older ones had 
     2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.12 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages
Comment 3 Andres Betts 2017-12-05 15:55:16 UTC
I still have the same issue. Even after installing ubiquity. Ubiquity actually crashes mid-way and I can't finish the installation. Same build, neon gitunstable from nov 28.

Fixed in new image which will be published within the hour
