It seems to be an issue in the storage configuration library. Reassigning to libblockdev.
I believe the drives concerned were in an invalid 'fake-RAID'-related state. Nonetheless, this shouldn't cause Anaconda to crash -- in fact I'd expect it to either say the drives are unavailable and not use them, or offer them up for a complete wiping.
