[Users] Installing ovirt-nightly problems

Since I had some problems getting bonding working correctly in my
ovirt-3.1 test installation I decide to start all over with a clean
install and try the nightly, the webcast about bonding is using a nightly.
That didn't go to well :-(
What I did:
- install Fedora-17 from live CD
- yum upgrade --exclude=kernel*
  (stayed on 3.3.4-5)
- yum localinstall http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm
- enabled nightly in ovirt.repo
- yum install ovirt-engine

Ended up with the following nightly rpms:
ovirt-engine-3.1.0-3.20121031.gitdd0ad7f.fc17.noarch
ovirt-engine-backend-3.1.0-3.20121031.gitdd0ad7f.fc17.noarch

ovirt-engine-userportal-3.1.0-3.20121031.gitdd0ad7f.fc17.noarch
ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.1.0-3.20121031.gitdd0ad7f.fc17.noarch

ovirt-iso-uploader-3.1.0-1.fc17.noarch
ovirt-log-collector-3.1.0-1.fc17.noarch
ovirt-release-fedora-4-2.noarch

ran engine-setup and gave default answers where possible.
Instalation stopped with a Creating Database... ERROR
Attached are the logs and the real error is in the enginedb log:
user name is: engine
Creating uuid-ossp extension...
psql:/tmp/tmp.8hb5EYqc0Y:1: ERROR:  permission denied to create extension
"uuid-ossp"
HINT:  Must be superuser to create this extension.

It is right, user engine isn't a superuser and thus not allowed to create
the extension.
I modified the CREATE ROLE statement to include SUPERUSER role and
restarted engine-setup, now it continues and runs til the end.
Looking at the code I think that the second invocation of creating the
uuid-ossp extension isn't needed but commenting that line gives an error
too.
Looking at ovirt-stable and comparing the scripts in
/usr/share/ovirt-engine does show some changes but I don't know enough
internals to see what changed that causes this.
