 How are you providing the preseed file? 
  
 (I presume not via url=... (with a network URI) as that would mean that 
 it would only be available after the network comes up, which would be 
 too late to configure the wifi.) 
  
 I forget the exact details of the wifi settings that need to be 
 preseeded, but it sounds like the use of Automatic install (which sets 
 auto-install/enable=true and debconf/priority=critical for you) is 
 preventing the prompt for the passphrase from appearing, and as a result 
 of that it's then effectively complaining about an unset value. 
  
 I'd suggest that you try again, while adding 'DEBCONF_DEBUG=5' on the 
 kernel command line, and when you get to the point where you'd hope to 
 be able to set the wifi settings, flip to the console on Ctrl-Alt-F4 to 
 see what the syslog is showing regarding the questions it's not asking 
 you -- you can see the same thing on e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2 and editing the 
 /var/log/syslog (with nano or maybe vi), which has the advantage of 
 letting you search and move about. 
  
 That should allow you to see if my guess is correct, and will hopefully 
 provide clues on how to get it working for you. 
  
 Cheers, Phil.
