There never seemed to be a Disk Druid text support for LVM. If you do not like the defaults (and I rarely do), you either have to be good with kickstart (I am not) or use the Gui to set up the partitions as you want.
For some test systems, when all I want to do is throw up a FC/Centos system, I will just accept the defaults and then I have gotten by with the text installer.
I guess you've always got Alt-F2/rescue mode to do the partitioning you need otherwise?
Never knew about this, perhaps I will delve into it.
The text installer fires off several virtual consoles. Console 1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) is the usually dialog-based installer. Console 2 is a shell. And Colsole 3, 4, & 5 are bound to various stderr/stdout of different processes (you can watch various debug/verbose output of various aspects of the install process -- usefull if something goes wrong).
