Strange. That means setup is failing pretty early in the post install process. I assume you are installing from RPM. Take a look at the setup log file. If you break setup, it should be in /tmp/logXXXXX where XXXXX are some random chars. If that still shows nothing, then I'm not really sure what else to do, except debug postinstall. If you take a look at line 509 in the /opt/fedora-ds/setup/setup shell script, that's the command that runs the ns-update shell script. You can probably do a set -xv in that shell script. That shell script in turn runs ds_create which creates and starts the initial directory server instance. You will need to edit ns-update to run ds_create under strace, or possibly even gdb.
