I can reproduce the bug with the build:
virt-install-1.2.1-4.el7.noarch
libvirt-1.2.17-2.el7.x86_64

Try to verify this bug with package:

steps:

1. #virt-install -n vm1 -r 1024 --nonetworks --nodisks --pxe

2 #virt-install -n vm1 -r 1024 --nodisks --pxe

Result:
After step 1:
A error message occurs:
ERROR Can't use --pxe without any network.
No installation windows pops up
After step 2:
No error message occurs.
Installation window pops up and installs VM.

According to above result,move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
