Very odd.  I've repeated the same on the i386 and x86_64 disc1.iso and
see anaconda-12.15.

Can you confirm the sha256sum for the disc1 media you are using?  Does
it match the official checksums [1]?  Are you booting and installing
from the physical media (not booting the media, and installing from
rawhide)? 

Thanks,
James
