These bugs are being closed since a large number of updates have been released
after the FC5 test1 and test2 releases. Kindly update your system by running yum
update as root user or try out the third and final test version of FC5 being
released in a short while and verify if the bugs are still present on the system
.Reopen or file new bug reports as appropriate after confirming the presence of
this issue. Thanks

Actually getting around to testing this, the right thing does happen if you set
your hypervisor kernel as the default.  In that case, both the kernel options
and the hypervisor options are getting copied correctly.
