   the only BZ report i found that looks vaguely similar is this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493452

but that doesn't seem to quite fit.  i'll try one more time, and BZ this
if i get the same result.  but i've done a *lot* of LVM-based installs in
my time so i'm fairly sure i have a handle on how to do it correctly.
