If you can get another client to complete ipa-client-install it's unlikely to be a server issue but it could feasibly be a schema update missed during install I suppose... You say you are using non-IPA DNS ... do you have all the appropriate TXT and SRV records in place for autodiscovery? If you specify an IPA server, domain and realm does it then work? It might be worth posting on the freeipa lists too
