Because XFS labels can not be as long as the ext2/3 variants some of the 
mountpoints are botched if it is mounted deep in the structure.

The label will then not be set on the device and thus the filesystem can 
not be mounted during install I believe.

This is an older issue, because of this XFS mount by label was disabled 
since the 1.0.2 series IIRC.
