udev creates /dev/disk/by-path/ entries as far as I know. The other listings you have show the kernel found the device, so I don't see this as a kernel problem.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This appears to be a FEdora 17 bug. If this is still an issue on a current, supported version of Fedora, please reopen.
