I can confirm this.

I downgraded to dracut 020-22.git20120702.fc18.x86_64 and it is able to create an initramfs of a normal-looking size (haven't tried to boot with it yet though ...) # ls -l /boot/initramfs-3.5.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc18.x86_64.img -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 19290844 Jul 8 18:49 /boot/initramfs-3.5.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc18.x86_64.img
fixed with dracut-020-52 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 838367 ***
