I think you met this bug I opened:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533658
It should have been solved but in rawhide, so ready for F13.
For F12 a workaround: after install and before clicking on reboot
button, you can make an Alt+F2 switching to a console screen and use
fdisk to restore correct bootable flag to your windows partition and
removing the one set up by Fedora.

HIH,
