How big is the disk you are installing to?  What happens if you calculate
the 10 and 90 percent yourself and put those numbers in the --size parameter
instead of using --percent?  Round your 10% up to the nearest extent-sized
boundary. Work out the numbers for the smallest disk it is likely to
encounter, and use --grow if it needs to be able to handle larger disks too.

I found in RHEL 5 that kickstart's LV calculations would sometimes round a
size down to 0 if I wasn't dividing the disk using exact extent-sized
proportions.
