It's probably by design as I looked up the anaconda/changes page[1] and
found two features related:
* x86 uses GPT disklabels by default on all machines, even non-EFI.
* If a GPT boot disk is used on a non-EFI machine, a warning will be
displayed.

If you didn't already, can you file a bug on this? Seems a blogger hit
the same thing, and has been confused into thinking GPT is default for
Fedora 16:
