Calamares maintainer here. It doesn't seem to be a known issue. I'd be happy 
to look into it and fix it, but I cannot reproduce the issue locally.

It would help greatly if you could please try to reproduce this while running 
Calamares in gdb, like so:
# gdb /usr/bin/calamares
then in the GDB shell:
start -d
if it pauses at the initial breakpoint, you can write "cont" to make it 
continue, then finally, when it crashes, please do:
thread apply all bt
and paste the full output, either here or in a bug report at 
https://calamares.io/bugs .

Cheers,
