This is indeed a regression in 6.4, I will open an upstream bug and fix this.
Upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3248
A patch with a fix is attached to ticket #3248. As a workaround until it gets pushed, you could either 1) Use an IPA hostname that is already resolvable, OR 2) Install IPA with --no-reverse option and configure reverse zone later when IPA installation is finished (if required)
The patch resolved the issue. Installation was successful

You can now obtain a kerberos ticket using the command: 'kinit admin' This ticket will allow you to use the IPA tools (e.g., ipa user-add) and the web user interface. Be sure to back up the CA certificate stored in /root/cacert.p12 This file is required to create replicas. The password for this file is the Directory Manager password
