Description of problem: Install from LiveCD and you end up with /lib/udev/rules.d/70-anaconda.rules If you eject a CD, one of the rules of 70-anaconda.rules kicks in and calls blkid, which should not be done (see /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules). blkid causes the CD tray to close immediately. Solutions in order of preference: 1) push all rules upstream to udev or to the tools they belong to and obsolete 70-anaconda.rules completely 2) remove 70-anaconda.rules after installation (might be a symlink) 3) enclose the rules with: ENV{ANACONDA}!=".*", GOTO="anaconda_end" ... rules.... LABEL="anaconda_end" and set ANACONDA from anaconda with: # udevadm control --env=ANACONDA=1 4) remove anaconda completely after livecd installation
We'll do #3 for now while we very slowly continue to do #1.

Would be possible to fix the bug in F-12 anaconda and release an update addressing it? This embarrassing bug has been polluting Fedora since F-9 and I am still closing duplicates...

No, we don't really release updates for anaconda as that requires making entirely new media spins which requires additional QA work, rel-eng work, etc. However, Fedora Unity does some of this if you want to send this bug to them.
