That looks correct, if you can confirm the curtin package version installed
with:

apt-cache policy python3-curtin

Which maas version are you running?

Can you do the following and try again to collect some debugging logs?

curtin config:
maas <session> node get-curtin-config <system-id>

enable verbose debugging of curtin:
maas <session> maas set-config name=curtin_verbose value=true

In the node details page, it should display the curtin log.
