I wouldn't even call it a workaround - it's just proper integration of your hook
with the way FAI works in this particular step. But yes, please let us know
whether this works for your or you stumble upon further problems, which I'd be
eager to get fixed ASAP.

Best regards,
Michael

PS.: The particular problem you were having should be properly caught by an
error pointing you to $disklist in all future experimental releases, I just
committed a fix.
