This bug has been present since RedHat 7.3 (see bug reports #52502 & #67583) It could be fixed very simply by moving the "test || mkdir" line to come after the "tar /etc/.skel" block. It was reported to me that this had been done almost two years ago, so it's somewhat disappointing that this bug is still present.
This bug is fixed in the current FC release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 67583 ***
