I see that bug has been closed as a duplicate of this one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1084888

From some of the comments, it looks like an iscsi (libisci) problem.
Looks nasty blowing up Python and Anaconda with a SEGV.  Guess that
explains why I never saw it.  I don't use iSCSI for anything.  Nothing
to do with LXC.
