Just to say I had exactly the same problem.  I'm sure I've done a text 
mode manual partitioning before, but this time there was no option to do 
that.

I'm not sure if this is an omission or has been deliberately removed, 
but I'd suspect a trip to bugzilla is in order.  If you post the bug # 
I'd be happy to add a 'me too'
