Error log produced in place by anaconda

Description of problem:
When installing from life iso, Anaconda produces unhandled exception on the type root password screen, when a custom hostname was used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-13.21.117-1.el6

How reproducible:
Always
iso used: RHEL6.1-20110510.1-Workstation-x86_64-Live.iso (from globalsync/rhel/released/RHEL-6/6.1/Live/)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from the life image (kvm used in my case)
2. Start the installer.
3. Leave all the options default, except in place of "localhost.localdomain" type in e.g."rhel61"
4. When you get to the root passwd screen, installer crashes
  
Actual results:
Installer produces an unhalted exception. The backtrace goes: 
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/account_gui.py", line 91, in setCapsLockLabel
    if _isys.isCapsLockEnabled():
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/account_gui.py", line 72, in getScreen
    self.setCapsLockLabel()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1469, in setScreen
    new_screen = self.currentWindow.getScreen(anaconda)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1390, in nextClicked
    self.setScreen ()
SystemError: error return without exception set

Entire log is attached.

Expected results:
No crash
