What is your pxe commandline?  What device are you installing to? What 
device contains the previous installation?

The intention of the fix is to prevent users from wiping data 
accidentally.  It's existed in the TUI install for some time, and was 
previously in the auto-install, but in a migration from bash to python, 
was missed.

As for the bug, it was a customer filed issue in RHEV-H, and not 
something I can make public, unfortunately.
