Steps to reproduce

ogv demonstrating described issue (1.3 MB)

Described issue was firstly observed on a virtual machine in KVM, but I'm not able to reproduce when installing via vnc.

Host system is Fedora 17, qemu-kvm-1.0.1-2.fc17.x86_64, command to run the virtual machine:
$ qemu-kvm -hda images/disk_1 -net user -net nic,model=virtio -boot c -m 2G

I will attach anaconda logs from the installation in KVM.

This looks like a dupe of bug 888292, could you give the patch for that a try?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 888292 ***

Which window gets focus seems to be affected by the position of the dialog being closed. Or I may be imagining it, but I was able to reproduce with the following:

1) Check "Use a boot loader password"
2) Enter a password in the first field
3) Hit OK in the "Enter Boot Loader Password" window
4) When "Passwords don't match" pops up, move the window so that it's no longer on top of "Enter Boot Loader Password"
5) Hit OK in the "Passwords don't match" window
...repeat 3-5 a few times until "Enter Boot Loader Password" loses focus
