liveinst itself shouldn't really be assuming that; it's not passing
--graphical to anaconda and so anaconda should determine it based on
whether or not DISPLAY is set.

What command line arguments did you pass to anaconda?

If you file an anaconda bug (mostly so I don't forget as I likely will
by the time I finish getting through email :-), I can make this be a
little bit smarter like the other install backends. As I think I
previously mentioned here, there probably are a few shortcuts like that
based mostly on the "it's what was tested on the normal path". Fixing
them up should be pretty easy as they're noticed
