Reconstructed the problem (with parted 2.2-1ubuntu2):
1. Clean GPT with 3 partitions (Gparted)
2. Start ubiquity (Lucid Daily)
    * Change type of 3rd partition
    * Format 2st and 3rd partitions (ext4 and swap)
    * Finish install
3. After reboot found partition table in state as below:

# fdisk -l

Logs are attached.

BTW: Above didn't happen when disabled installation of grub into MBR, so it might be grub related issue...
