Yup, that's a bug alright.  There was a similar bug that would make
sysinstall error out if you tried to label a disk slice, which was fixed
a few days ago in the -current sources.  Your best bet though is probably
to download a 2.2 boot disk and load sysinstall from there, or try cvsup'n
the sources and making /usr/src/release/sysinstall.
