Anyone have any thoughts on why anaconda might be prompting me to
reinitialize the disk during the kickstart of a Centos6.4 install on
hyperV when
a) the kickstart file contains "zerombr" as referred to in the
installation guide[1]
b) installation proceeds with no prompt on KVM hypervisors and succeeds?

I have read the release notes[2]/tech notes[3] for 6.4 and noted lots
of changes concerned with virtualization in general and hyperv hosts
in particular, but I don't see anything that appears to be directly
pertinent.

I did try using the "clearpart --initlabel --all" approach (although
that appears to be removed from 6.4), but I get the prompt with that
as well.
