Sure: Do the following:

- Install ubuntu on test.img
After installing, boot the new virtual machine with your self-build bios:
- qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda test.img -m 512 -bios build/coreboot.rom
See how the machine starts successfully, using the 'broken' seabios. Ubuntu boots successfully. Even starting my Windows7-machine nearly works, but while "Windows is loading files" is written the virtual screen / text becomes yellow and booting stops.
But Ubuntu can successfully be booted and used absolutely normaly with cb+seabios - only installing seems impossible and the errors you (Jonatahan) described, appear.
Ah, that's probably because Ubuntu boots through GRUB when it's installed, and GRUB doesn't need the graphical mode that ISOLINUX uses.
