What we saw was that certutil output garbage when requesting the RA admin certificate. Can you look in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for the last certutil command? Does stdout contain a lot of garbage characters in it? It should consist of a base64-encoded CSR.

Ok, easily reproduced with this version of nss. I filed
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=910584
For a workaround you might try to yum downgrade nss. You may need to
downgrade several other subpackages as well like nss-tools and
nss-sysinit depending on your install.
I think you can safely upgrade again once the install is complete.
