trust me, it doesn't. (at least not in my experience)
My laptop currently dual boots ES and FC2 - installed in that order. The 
easiest way for me to handle this (especially as FC3 or poss RHEL4 beta will 
replace FC2 shortly) was to install the FC2 bootloader to FCs / fs and use a 
chainloader line in the ES grub.conf file.
so it now looks a bit like this:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.4.21-20.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-20.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi vga=791
        initrd /initrd-2.4.21-20.EL.img
title Fedora Core (bootloader)
        root (hd0,6)
        chainloader +1
but then my FC2 install is all on one / filesystem...

may be worth doing - there are alot of bugs relating to anaconda in bugzilla 
atm, but none that seem to refer to this issue.
