Well, it does because these are two different things, but in most usual 
circumstances they select the same set of packages.

(I think e.g. if you've previously installed a test version, they will 
give different results)

Yes, this is almost certainly not implemented correctly.

Unfortunately, this is complex, because of interactions with how we 
apply packages and selection modes selected via the command line. It's 
not clear at all to me what should happen here when those exist and 
you've then modified them in the chooser and then go back and forward.

At the moment, the back button is always enabled, I think.  There's 
probably some points in the flow where we shouldn't allow that.
