Ok, so then separate /usr is apparently not broken, or for now there's a fallback mechanism (as of F18) to make things work in the event that /usr is on its own partition.
Either way my setup is working (appears to), but it would be nice to really know if separate usr is causing any issues at all, or if the intramfs definitely has my back with /usr entry in /etc/fstab (i.e. no need for dracut workaround suggested elsewhere in this thread).
The initramfs has your back covered. The only problem arises, when the initramfs has not enough information or tools or kernel drivers to mount /usr or to assemble the device it lives on. This case should not be possible, if you set up /usr with the installer. If you encounter such a problem, then please file a bug, because dracut (the initramfs framework) should be able to cope with all supported installation locations.
Thanks for your awesome optimization guide, BTW: http://www.harald-hoyer.de/personal/blog/fedora-17-boot-optimization-from-15...
sub 4 second boot times are possible ;-)
