We can't really make new anaconda releases for FC since that involves
making new ISO images and our mirrors understandably don't want to deal
with that.

However, have you tried adding:

   eject /tmp/cdrom

to your %pre or %post --nochroot script?  One of those might work,
depending on how soon you want to be able to get at the CD.
