So I was installing the allinone plugin and then running engine-setup.

So the problem is that at this point I've killed the system that wasn't
working and I think I found a solution.  I wish i had thought to save off
the logs, but at least in theory it seemed to be re-produceable.

That being said the following changes to my original answer file (OP
attachment) and I've got a working environment

-OVESETUP_CONFIG/applicationMode=str:both
+OVESETUP_CONFIG/applicationMode=str:virt

-OVESETUP_CONFIG/storageIsLocal=bool:True
+OVESETUP_CONFIG/storageIsLocal=bool:False

-OVESETUP_SYSTEM/nfsConfigEnabled=bool:True
+OVESETUP_SYSTEM/nfsConfigEnabled=bool:False

-OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainMountPoint=str:/var/lib/exports/iso
-OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainName=str:ISO_DOMAIN
-OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainACL=str:{{ ansible_fqdn }}(rw)
+OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainMountPoint=none:None
+OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainName=none:None
+OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainACL=none:None

Some of that is just weird though... storageIsLocal=False? its completely
local storage.

But hey.. its working consistently now.
