reproducing kickstart

Description of problem:

If encrypted mdX of level 0 is used as pv in LVM, installer fails during formatting with information about lvcreate failure and provides just Reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.1.2.242-1.i386

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create mdX with level 0 formatted as LVM pv, encrypt it, 
2. create volume group with that pv, create lv mounted as /
3. move installation forward.
  
Additional info:

Such configuration doesn't seem to be common, so impact is low or none. Actually I didn't find any report for this issue from the past even if this is not regression (I reproduced this also for rhel5-u6 and rhel5-u5).
More common configuration with raid level 1 is working without issue.

Setting devel_ack- as you note that this isn't a regression and no customer has reported it as a problem.  We're trying to keep the changeset as small as possible for 5.8, so stuff like this isn't really fit to make the cut.
