Fedora 33 virt-install + ks has some problem switching root

Sorry for this rather ill-defined bug report, but I'm hoping someone
will recognize the symptoms or at least suggest a way to debug this.

Ever since Fedora 33 was released we've been unable to produce a
working virt-builder template.  The template that we have made fails
at switch root.

template:   https://builder.libguestfs.org/fedora-33.xz
bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1911177

An additional problem is I cannot find any way to debug the problem.
Something (systemd? dracut?) asks for a root password in order to get
to the emergency shell, and I can find no way around this nor any
password which works.  I wish there was a "stop asking for a password"
option on the kernel command line.

We use the same process to make these as we have always used, this
kickstart:

  https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/builder/templates/fedora-33.ks

is fed to this virt-install script:

  https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/builder/templates/fedora-33.virt-install-cmd

and the result is minimized.  (I tried turning off the minimization
steps, it seems the output of virt-install + ks is broken, not
anything we do afterwards).

Rich.
