I found the cause for this problem. It lies in a new option available under Spacewalk 1.1. Under Kickstart -> Profiles -> <profile> -> System Details -> Details -> Spacewalk Profile, using the re-connect option adds a pre-script to kickstart which appears to cause my particular installation to freeze after formatting boot and trying to mount /. Using the last option removes the pre-script and my installation no longer hangs.
