In CentOS5, Anaconda complains (but continues) with that, and so my 
question.

I'll let you compare, this works with CentOS5:
zerombr
part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=100 --ondisk=hda
part pv.6 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=hda
volgroup VolGroup00 pv.6
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024 
--grow
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=512
