Yes -- this is a race condition that was noticed, but in the "need to
get something out" rush, it was deemed okay for the first test release.
It's filed as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227214.  Note that
you can also hit this on a real system, but it's less likely since hard
disks are a lot faster than reading from CD :)

David has some ideas here involving gdm, the face browser, and a11y in
gdm.  I'll let him expound further

The only place I've seen anything like it is this dialog.  So I think
it's just a big with how the specific dialog is (and where it is in the
startup sequence of the session).  So it should hopefully be resolved
when the actual bug is fixed
