Aside from the noted conflict, I see this in the build logs for the
20100726 nightly live
(http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/logs/20100726.15-x86_64.log ):

Looks like it's missing a Requires(post), I guess.

It also doesn't seem that systemd is yet kicking in as the default for
the live builds. Even though the installed systemd-units package is
systemd-units-4-3.fc14.x86_64 , indicating a version new enough to be
intended to be the default was available, systemd-units is the *only*
systemd package installed, and upstart-sysvinit-0.6.5-7.fc14 is
installed, so it seems upstart still gets to be the default. Not sure if
that's another packaging issue, or just that the live spin kickstart
file needs to be changed.
