dracut hang in %posttrans of Rawhide kernel install?

Hey, folks - I have my desktop on Rawhide now, and on trying to install
the latest kernel build from Koji today -
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=433327 - the yum
process seemed to hang indefinitely at '  Cleanup    :
kernel-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64                                  3/3' . I
saw several stuck dracut processes:

root     22006  0.0  0.0 113752  2188 pts/0    S+   Jul12
0:00 /bin/bash /sbin/dracut
-f /boot/initramfs-3.11.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc20.x86_64.img
3.11.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc20.x86_64

all that same command, apparently spawned by:

root     21986  0.0  0.0 113316  1720 pts/0    S+   Jul12
0:00 /bin/bash /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut
--depmod --update 3.11.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc20.x86_64

I left them for several hours, none ever finished. Then I kill'ed them
all - kill -9 was not necessary - and the yum process completed,
complaining of:

/sbin/dracut: line 871: /etc/crypttab: No such file or directory
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg: line 496: 22006 Terminated              $tool
mkinitrd failed
warning: %posttrans(kernel-3.11.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc20.x86_64) scriptlet
failed, exit status 1
Non-fatal POSTTRANS scriptlet failure in rpm package
kernel-3.11.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc20.x86_64

and indeed, no initramfs existed for the new kernel.

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on the cause, for a bug report?
