After some searching around and experimentation discovered that the package mesa-dri-drivers-experimental was missing from the liveCD. I installed mesa-dri-drivers-experimental with yum and restarted the X server. The error no longer occurred. Maybe mesa-dri-drivers-experimental should be added to the liveCD?
It's not a bug. The message is simply saying that a "real" 3D driver isn't available for AIGLX. The mesa-dri-drivers-experimental are not installed by default for good reasons (potentially unstable), so can't be included on the LiveCD as of yet.
