This problem is not occurring when using the LiveCD ISO burned to DVD-RW media. It's only occurring with a USB stick produced by dd'ing the LiveCD ISO. The GRUB option to Verify and Boot does not fail the USB stick.

New problem is that the successfully installed system (from LiveCD ISO burned to DVD-RW media), upon reboot, does not eject the disc, rather it boots from it not the HDD. When I reboot with option key at the startup chime, I'm presented with six icons, none of which are Fedora. If I boot Mac OS and go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, I have only a Mac OS option.

So Fedora was installed successfully, but can't be chosen as a boot option.
