Sounds about right. I believe assuring GRUB2 installed with LVM
support is not that difficult, but GRUB2's LVM support is very
limited, I believe only simple volume or simple mirroring.
Apparently installer developer want to make sure the installer
does not produce an unbootable system.
IMHO, installer should have an "expert" mode where questionable
stuff won't stop installation, even when it potentially cause
unbootable system (we can just try again). This especially true
for kickstart installation.
