I don't believe what I just saw ...

So after a bit of live CD jiggery pokery, I was able to run through an
F21 RC5 installation. I installed it in a separate logical volume,
alongside my existing F20 installation. /boot is a shared ext4
partition on top of my IMSM RAID volume. I still use GRUB legacy, so I
told anaconda not to install a bootloader.
After the F21 installation completed, I was unable to boot back to F20.
GRUB still worked, but the initramfs was unable to find the F20 root
filesystem, which is an LV on top of a bcache device.
After a bit of investigation, it appears that the F21 installer rebuilt
all of the F20 initramfs files on the shared /boot (and omitted the
bcache dracut module).
Of all the anaconda weirdness I've experienced over the years, this has
got to be the strangest thing I've seen. In fact, I have a hard time
believing the evidence of my own eyes. Why would it do this?
Am I crazy? Anyone else seen this? Expected behavior?
