Anaconda Traceback

Description of problem:
I was installing to disk from an F11 live cd.  When it came time to accept the grub boot loader options, I elected to edit the boot option and rename "Fedora" to "Fedora 11".  When I clicked "OK", I received the attached traceback.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.5.0.59-1.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
Haven't tried to get it again, however, I remember hitting the same problem with F10 (shame on my for not reporting the bug at the time).  If I recall correctly, I was able to get past the bug by simply accepting the name as it is instead of trying to change the boot label to something else.  I'll add a comment here if that doesn't work this time...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from a Fedora 11 live cd
2. Select "Install to Hard Drive", follow directions
3. For hard disk layout, put / somewhere on /dev/sdaX (laptop harddrive) and /boot on /dev/sdb1 (usb key).  Opt to install grub on /dev/sdb.
4. Try to edit the boot label.
  
Actual results:
Bang!  Anaconda is dead.

Expected results:
World peace.  Or at least a smoother installation without anaconda crashing.

Additional info:
Fedora and RedHat hackers are awesome.
