There are lots of error messages like the following in your syslog:

<3>end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 409639
<3>Buffer I/O error on device vda1, logical block 51197
<4>lost page write due to I/O error on vda1
<3>Buffer I/O error on device vda1, logical block 51198
<4>lost page write due to I/O error on vda1
<3>Buffer I/O error on device vda1, logical block 51199

This indicates either a problem with hardware or with the kernel.  Can you please attempt to verify this bug and if so, open a new one against the kernel?  There's really not much anaconda can do about problems like this, nor is it even very easy to detect them in all the places they can occur.
