The workaround suggested in comment 26 works.

Basically, in the yum configuration file you are using to build, tell it 
to ignore updates for yum and yum-updatesd.  Like this:

[updates]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
...
exclude=yum yum-updatesd
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1


It does not matter what version of yum is on the build server, just what 
version is built into the CD/DVD image.

The new version of yum in updates-testing is 3.2.2 and does not resolve 
the issue.

Further Observations:

In yum-3.2.0 on the CD/DVD image, both headers directories are created.
/tmp/cache/headers
/tmp/cahe/anaconda.../headers

The second of those is populated.

Good Luck!
