I had the same problem. Installing from a microSD in a card reader. No combination of unplugging/re-inserting helped.
So, I put the ISO on a regular USB memory thingy – a Lexar 4GB. It worked fine.
When I was dd-ing the ISO on, I noticed that it was close to 2GB, maybe slightly over? My microSD was 2GB
It booted live image OK, but maybe the install uses different parts of the ISO?

If the image is bigger than the card/usb, DD will just report it at the end when it has no more space to write to, only if verbose mode is used. The resulting card/usb will not be usable in almost all cases.
