Additional info:
I also tried building an 11.99.901 rpm after seeing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743872, which went fine, but ended with the same problem:

I forgot to add that if I remove xorg-x11-drv-vmware I at least get video though only to a max resolution of 1280x768 and without the resizing and other benefits the vmware driver provides

Looks like this is the same as I reported in bug 782995 but there was also crash in vesa which is fixed and only vmware crash left.
Comment 3 Jan Kratochvil 2012-03-08 05:10:48 UTC 
This *probably* is the reason Anaconda does not start in qemu-kvm -vga vmware:
F17 Alpha and VMWare Fusion
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-March/163675.html

qemu-kvm -cdrom Fedora-17-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso -boot d -m 2048 -vga vmware
fails to initialize X and falls back to text.

It works with any of -vga cirrus/std/qxl
