Proposing as a final blocker: this affects a fresh install with a blank disk in auto-detected Czech, apparently. kparal will add a more detailed comment soon.
I can reproduce this reliably with F19 TC6 Live (not DVD!) x86_64. You just need to run the installer, pick Czech as a language and let the installer auto-create the layout (I used a completely new, blank, freshly created disk in a VM). Anaconda crashes during device creation.
Discussed at 2013-06-24 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-24/f19final-blocker-review-8.2013-06-24-16.00.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per criterion "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above" (in the case of apparently several non-English languages).
For the record I can re-create this as described by Kamil in c#15. We have a fix for this and 973019 currently in the works and a live image will shortly be available for testing; I'm going to check if it fixes it for me.
http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/20130624-desktop-x86_64.iso ought to fix this (we hope). It seems to for me: I can reproduce the bug as described in c#15 with TC6, I can no longer reproduce it following the same procedure with this image. Please, if as many people as possible can confirm, that'd be great.
