I have just installed Fedora 25 & latest Rawhide (netinst image) with
the KDE Environment, so that Initial Setup shows up (Gnome Initial
Setup shows up for the Fedora Workstation environment) after reboot.

In both cases Initial Setup shows up after the installation and
provides just the option to create a user.

Next I've tried to use "a" as password:
- Initial Setup tells me the password is weak
- I have to press done twice to confirm I'm OK with such a weak
password

This behavior looks quite correct to me - the user it told the password
is bad & has to confirm using it. 

Also there has bee no option to set root password in Initial Setup. Are
you possibly using a kickstart with "firstboot --enable --reconfig"[0]
? That switches Initial Setup into reconfig mode where it *is* possible
 to set a root password in it. The reconfig mode is also used by the
Fedora ARM images.
