Yes, My apologies for not being able to give you the exact version myself. I was not able to access the development VM at the time.

Comment 6 Martin Kosek 2012-05-15 08:28:21 UTC

Fixed upstream:
master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/1de37e8110e2b9fb69253cadfe4c1da1bc2e30f6

ipa-server-install now won't allow the DM password characters that are causing the failulre.
