What it looked like it may have been was the USB stick itself. I used UUI to create a new Live Fedora and was able to install from that. Never had any issues with that other stick before though.
This bug has kinda turned into a mess. The point where this is failing just happens to be the point where things explode after a series of other problems. The original bug appears to be a ntfsresize that failed. Several, using something called UUI are totally invalid, note the NULL in the kernel cmdline. Use dd, liveusb-creator or livecd-iso-to-disk to create media, not 3rd party tools that don't understand how Fedora works. The others are impossible to tell without the anaconda-tb-* file.
If you are hitting this error and can give this patch a try it would be helpful: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/374
> The others are impossible to tell without the anaconda-tb-* file. Brian: Note that this failure can also be caused by the situation described in bz #1263832, which is trivially reproducible.
I'm going to close this, in F23 things should break sooner instead of hitting this catch-all point.
