I see a variety of spins, and both CD and USB here. So the trigger must be what is already on the disk. Or else lots of people are downloading, attempting to install, and giving up in disgust.
In my case, there is already a Fedora 17 installation, with LVM and root and home LVs (and some additional LVs).

BTW, this is on the release ISO - it is still broken. Don't ignore this because it was first reported on the Beta!

nirik and some others looked at the backtrace and said that it had to do with network environment, not disk contents - indeed the crash is in nm.py. He thought it was caused by dhcp6 on the network (and I do indeed run dhcp6).
In any case, the workaround is simply to unplug the network cable and/or not connect the wireless. I *may* try disabling dhcpd6.

this time on my first i didn't start the wifi, no wire cable an it works
--- Additional comment from Sylvain Lapierre on 2013-07-05 06:24:34 EDT ---
Finally, I can install Fed 19 on 3 differents laptops simply by not connecting the wifi to my network. Previous installation on any of the 3 failed.

I confirm it has something to do with IPv6.
I'm installing using pxe/kickstart so unplugging the cable is not an option.
The --noipv6 kickstart option helps:
network --bootproto=dhcp --onboot yes --noipv6
