Reporter,

1) are you using a kickstart for this installation? It doesn't look like from the commands in comment 0, but if you do please attach it.

2) what packages do you choose to install?

3) Can you please reproduce the crash and attach /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log to this log? Do you remember what package was being installed at the moment of the crash? 

The file we are flushing into is on the root filesystem so it should be writable at all times. It's however possible that either there's some weird package manipulating the writability installed or we're under changeroot and the file handler points to a wrong location for some reason.
