Steps to reproduce:

1. create a new virtual machine with blank harddisk image (or, a real blank harddisk)
2. boot the netinstall iso
3. at boot menu, press tab and append ks=<kickstart_file_location> and press enter to boot
4. go through the boot option as usual until harddisk partition options
5. Choose "Use All Space" at harddisk partition options
6. error occurs

I just tested with equivalent upstream version, and confirmed the same bug occurred in upstream. I opened a bugzilla ticket for this. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771806
