Doesn't 'clearpart --disklabel gpt' work?
It should. IIRC at the time it
was added we didn't make GPT the default because some BIOS systems were
confused by it and refused to boot.

I don't know why we all missed it. Butt that appears to be the case.

However, the end goal is to create hybrid BIOS+UEFI cloud images via kickstart.  (Maybe down the road it could be generally useful, if/when the existing bootloader UI bits go away.)

I'll start a new thread on anaconda-devel@ about that.
