Can you try switching to the virtual console and setting up the RAID
manually using mdadm commands as you would do on a running server?
If that works then a bug against the installer would probably be

I have had partman become massively confused by previous contents of
disks before. I've used wipefs to get rid of signatures so partman
would be happy.
