Thats pretty weird to me. It works fine for me here in all my tests. 

Additionally, the F22 Xfce spin is made with the exact same
livecd-tools, kernel, anaconda and packages that the workstation one is
made from. The only difference is the package set. Booting and such
should be the exact same on both.
