Still no go, I'm running:
hosted-engine --deploy
--otopi-environment='OVEHOSTED_CORE/screenProceed=bool:True'
--config-append=/tmp/hosted-engine-answer-file.conf

And getting:

stdout: [ INFO  ] Stage: Initializing
[ INFO  ] Generating a temporary VNC password.
[ INFO  ] Stage: Environment setup
          Configuration files: ['/tmp/hosted-engine-answer-file.conf']

(While I suspect there's some way to cause Ansible to create the tty, it
causes issues with sftp. While there's a way to move from sftp to scp, it
then fails on copying files for some odd reason... so if there's a way to
overcome this error in ovirt, that'll be great).
