I don't know, but my fabricated explanation.  That was a centos bug.
If the patch didn't make it upstream, then it wouldn't be in Fedora.
So, you should open a Fedora bugzilla for the issue, and include the
link to the centos bug, and the fact that it is fixed there.  That is,
the Fedora install media probably includes the unpatched version that
caused the bug in centos because it wasn't reported in Fedora, so no
one was aware there was a bug.

Did any of the workarounds suggested in that centos bug, before the
patch was built, work for you?  You could mention that in the Fedora
bugzilla also, so anyone searching for the issue finds your bug and
knows there is a workaround.
