So the live image is a pre-existing image, that has been created with grub, which anaconda is then trying to copy to the disk. To make this work, either anaconda needs to know enough to remove the grub images, and rebuild the image with systemd-boot, or the live image needs to be created with bootloader --sdboot and then the installer on the live image should work. Of course there are gochas at the moment with both cases, although I've been looking at option two here, which is assuring that live images can be created with systemd-boot by removing the grub dependencies. But, for the time being the plan appears to be to simply disable systemd-boot on live media. There is an existing bz #2234638 which is being used to track this problem. So i'm going to dupe this against that one despite this one being older.
