Is this failure repeatable?
If you select custom partition layout or you select use free space, this is 100% reproducible. It seems any option that deletes an existing partition or creates a new partition causes it. If you merely format or reformat an existing partition, then the error does not occur. I typically have to boot a LiveCD and use gparted to create partitions to work around this issue.
You have three different crashes in your logs. Quite a mess. Please collect /tmp/storage.state, along with a matching crash dump, and attach both to this report so I can try to sort this out.
Unfortunately, those crashes left the system in an inoperable state. I have reformatted and re-installed since them. Next install I will make an attempt.

I'm seeing the same thing: 1. Install a Fedora 12 virtual machine with the default settings 2. Clone this Fedora 12 virtual machine 3. On the clone, boot desktop-x86_64-20100218.16.iso and install
This is almost certainly a dupe of bug 567840. Can someone see if a livecd with anaconda-13.32-1.fc13 or later still has this problem?
