I did a mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp4sp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1, and then edited the file to say NAME="em1" instead of NAME="enp4s0", even though ifconfig showed the "em1" interface already*. Rebooted and logged into the webadmin, reinstalled the VDSM host and unchecked "configure firewall", and VDSM came up.
 *It turns out that these interfaces (e.g. enp4s0) are called "aliases", so enp4s0 is em1 and apparently Fedora 19 is using it in some (but not all) instances. Not sure what triggers it, but either creating the proper ifcfg file, or moving/editing it to the correct interface name will help get things running. Thanks everyone! - Nick
