Sorry. Must have misunderstood your earlier comments.

Sounds like a fairly specialized work-flow.  You might want to
consider using an updates.img that removes the password strength
requirements (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates). The
anaconda installer is fairly straight forward Python code.  I haven't
got a copy on me at the moment, but at a guess, all you need to do is
track down the relevant lines and comment them out.

Hope this helps.
