It is very unfortunate that displays are not mirrored in installation process any more. There is no reason to have spanned desktop when installing system. I even asked anaconda developers some time ago. I don't remember the answer precisely, but I guess it was something like it was too complex to change it just for the installation process.
That's basically it, yeah. There's no very simple way to specify clone mode instead of spanned mode for X, X just doesn't provide a simple way to do it. We'd have to create an xorg.conf file only to be used during Anaconda, I think that'd be the simplest way to do it, and doing that isn't terribly straightforward.
