Additional datapoints (I'll add this to the/a bug report):
- The relevant Anaconda is probably:

improve handling of local (cdrom) stage2 with URL installs
(#189262)
* loader2/urlinstall.c:
grab product.img from the URL instead of hdlist and verify that
its
stamp matches the initrd's
* urlinstall.py:
add systemMounted, systemUnmounted, filesDone methods to handle
the
stage2 image so the cdrom can be ejected at the end of
installation

- As Akemi indicated, adding storage.img to the FTP server is a
workaround for this problem.
- Even with product info in place, there seem to be to two errors in
loader2/urlinstall.c:
* The CD should be checked, rather than the FTP site (at least
according to the comments)
* There code path should be altered so that it doesn't loop on
CD detection if it cannot be mounted.
