I think it does, but not to the detail level you need. Details below.

From what I recall: you can
* boot the USB
* layout and format the disks (we assume using anaconda)
And when you get towards package selection, anaconda fails indicating
' that it can't find "image# 1".'
The "image# 1" it is looking for is the .iso which could have been burnt
to a DVD for doing the install, i.e., not something from the images
directory from THAT iso.
As RHEL6 anaconda derives from something post the rawhide that I
submitted the following bug on, it may help you understand.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435976
summary: anaconda will not trust any mounted file system for the rpm's
to install, it only trusts media images and http.
I hope this helps you, of course I could always be wrong.
