Surely that is not an officially supported (by Fedora) boot method and as
such can also break at any time. And some of the bugs that prevent booting
directly from optical media will also prevent booting from such a setup.
(E.g., if it is the fact that there is an optical media inserted that
confuses the listing of potential target devices in Anaconda.)

I don't really see how that can happen. The liveinst mode of Anaconda just
rsyncs everything that is installed on the live image to the target disk. It
is not going to exclude firmware or any other installed packages. (Not even
Anaconda itself, despite it not being needed on the installed system.)
