I'm changing the severity to "high" as I'm able to reproduce this 100% times.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1049503 turns out to be the root cause here. To verify, we disabled selinux and tried again and everything worked. So the issue seems to be with our selinux packages. Closing as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1049503 ***
