Are you certain that LD0, LD1 and LD2 are being set correctly before
partitioning happens?

> raid /boot   --fstype ext3 --device md0 --level=RAID1 raid.00 raid.10
> raid pv.1    --fstype ext4 --device md1 --level=RAID1 raid.01 raid.11
> raid pv.2    --fstype ext4 --device md2 --level=RAID1 raid.02 raid.12

If you want pv.1 and pv.2 to be LVM, why are you setting --fstype ext4?
Our kickstart uses:

raid pv.01  --fstype "physical volume (LVM)" --level=RAID1 --device=md3 raid.13 raid.23
