Weird. /system-upgrade-root exists so the 2nd screen shot complaint indicating it doesn't is bogus. The next complaint, that /system-upgrade-root/sysimage is true, it doesn't exist. The debug log shows:

[  5678.220] (II) fedup.sysprep:setup_upgraderoot() creating upgraderoot dir: /system-upgrade-root


An earlier screenshot of boot shows:

dracut-pre-pivot: Warning: UPGRADEROOT isn't unset, can't save initramfs


If anyone else is having such errors, is your rootfs btrfs by any chance? It's possible for a couple things to get confused about where the real root is if it's not groking it's on its own subvolume. (I'm not sure that's the problem, still looking and may even give up if no else is having this problem or if 0.8 solves it.)
