James, thanks for reproducer, This updates image (against f13 alpha rc4 which is anaconda 13.32) 
http://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.tsinfo.img
fixes the issue for me.

I noticed that steps 5. and 6. (no matter if they were preceded by 3. and 4.) make installation process significantly resource-hungrier - in my 512 MB VM I can install about 800 packages and then install fails with "install exited abnormally [1/1]" - this is another bug independent of this one, however.

This will be fixed by commit f8c1f662b5195805d5fbde60c6593909cd8f4395 in next build of anaconda from master branch, which should be anaconda-14.0-1 I think.

For reference, this issue should be fixed by patch

sent for review.

I've hit this several times while testing Fedora 13 Alpha and Beta TC0 (see bug#568396).  While there is no specific release criteria to address this, I think this falls into an except testers will encounter during CD-ROM installations.

Adding blocks:F13Beta to request pulling this change into F13Beta.  The use case affected is anytime you go "Back" to the reposetup step, and modify the Installation repository, this failure will occur.

This seems fairly specific and a safe fix to pull into F-13.
