This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda. We may also be putting together an updates.img for this and several other issues that will allow you to use the F7 installer to upgrade. I'll update this bug when we do that.

The f7-updates.img from comment #5 works fine for me. Thanks! By the way, I did not find this bug, although I thought I searched very thoroughly for anaconda bugs in f7. It should perhaps be pointed out to the novice user like me, that he should include CLOSED bugs into into search. It may be not so obvious.
