So it looks like the / and swap partitions of the CentOS 6.3 install are inside the VG, and there's ~8GB of space left inside the 20GB VG, but we're not recognizing that space. The fact that the VG simply shows up as 'Unknown' is probably wrong too. So I'm not sure how the UI is actually supposed to present this, but it's clearly not what we really want to happen :) Can you file a bug against anaconda with the info from this mail (maybe a screenshot)? The anaconda folks will be able to take a look at it.
