After a great deal of time I have isolated that the difference is whether you install this machine (Which is a VM) with a scsi or virtio disk bus. scsi will reliably crash, virtio works. Not sure if this is an anaconda bug, or a bug in qemu.
Please attach the log files from the crash (available in /tmp) to this bug as individual, text/plain attachments.
I have no files from /tmp because this is a hard crash: The whole emulator dies. As soon as it gets to "formatting / filesystem" the spinner stops and the graphics console disappears and dies. This is what indicated that it may be a qemu issue with the scsi driver.
Reassigning to qemu. The bus type shouldn't make a difference to anaconda beyond the names of the devices (vda vs. sda).
Sounds like bug 1093865, please reopen if crash isn't the same, and attach a backtrace *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1093865 ***
