this is maybe the same error as described in the Common F16 bugs document. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731356 . Sorry for the noise. after the removing the LANG= from the extlinux command lines, the installation did finish correctly. but there seems to be a problem with the graphical installer when using a dual screen setup. shall I create a new bug for this problem?

You are right, this log line confirms it:

19:38:33,304 ERR loader: unable to set to requested language de_DE.utf8

For the dual screen problem see bug 725219.
