While running the Live CD find out which package is providing that script, and 
file the bug against that package.  Use rpm -qf ./path/to/script

Yes that should probably be done instead and the kernel install %post scriptlets 
should probably have everything that needs to know how to do it.

Anaconda runtime should handle that use case, installing to disk while booted 
from Live CD is an anaconda job.  Was there no 'Install' desktop launcher?  I 
haven't booted an F9 beta live cd yet so I'm not sure whether that is there.
