I noticed something similar to this a while back [1] but I assumed it was either because I was using pre-alpha grade images or it was because I was using virt-install to do the image build process. Basically what I noticed is that doing the image "build" using the same tree/etc from koji yielded me with a VM that would boot once (so anaconda install and first boot work fine). However, subsequent boots would fail. I would then have to dd the syslinux mbr.bin to vda and everything would work fine. After looking at [2] I assumed this was a conscious decision we had made to not install the mbr by default (although reading through the comments now shows that you are only affected by this if the disk was not blank prior to build) and for some reason I assumed that it just worked on cloud platforms (although at the time I didn't have an image to test). Long story to say that I agree it looks like something on boot is affecting the mbr.
