The workaround for now seems to be either ... 1) remove the partition, and create a new one to match the parameters you need. 2) Or, supply a temporary mount point (aka '/opt/foo'), click OK, then reedit that partition supplying the original mount point Adding to F12Blocker so this doesn't fall off the radar.
Will be fixed in anaconda-12.36-1.
Tested fix as an updates.img on top of anaconda-12.35-1 (http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/updates-jlaska.img). Was unable to reproduce the reported problem. Will retest with anaconda-12.26.
