In addition, if I downgrade ubiquity in Disco to 18.10.12 from cosmic, all seems to be well.

Looking at that further, if I just extract the generated kbdnames.gz from 18.10.12 package and use it to replace the one found in 19.04.1 and later, the error appears to go away and I can proceed to a successful install.

The solution in this old bug fixes the crash for me:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/953328

i.e. a no change rebuild of console-setup
