filesystem formatting progress bar frantically bounces back and forth

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday crashcourse ca>]

  while i'm on a roll, on both the i386 and x86_64 installs, when i
select the default partitioning (/dev/sda1 for /boot and LV for the
root fs), the progress bar dialog that comes up doesn't slowly show
formatting progress from left to right as it used to.

  instead, a progress indicator bounces frantically back and forth
from left to right until the formatting is done.  is this a new
feature?  it's kind of disconcerting.
