I get a similar error when installing with "wipe disk" to an NVME drive. This error is not present in a KDE Neon ISO from 7/4/2024 (month/day/year). Encryption enabled. Even with SWAP disabled, I get a similar error.

Create a new partition (30.05 GiB, luks) on ‘/dev/nvme0n1’

Job: Create new partition on device ‘/dev/nvme0n1’

Command: sfdisk --force --append /dev/nvme0n1

Failed to add partition ‘New Partition’ to device ‘/dev/nvme0n1’.
