Yep, that was it. It wasn't obvious because all the disks in the images directory were written. I forgot about the last one, cdboot.img. It had 49K free the last time I built the images, and not enough this time. So, I just updated everything but the kernel, back-leveled Newt, and succeeded this time. Since we're out of space for future updates, I also replaced my version of Anaconda with the original 7.3-7 from the stock installation, after building the images, of course. The result is an installed system that is totally stock, albeit up2date stock.
