It seems, that this is not related to local disk space - as I initally thought - but to too small memory. It only happens with VMs with little RAM (1024 MB). As soon as we raise the available memory to 2048 MB, kickstarting works fine. The RHEL 7 installation guide states, that the minimal memory requirement is 1 GB, so the network installation /should/ work.
Yeah, I filed a bug report against the documentation some time ago.

Is there a way to install such hosts w/o having to temporarily raise the available memory?
None that I'm aware of, as of 7.3. If you have a 7.2 install tree, you can boot the older installer and then update the installed system. Seems easier to boost the memory, typically.
