Sounds like a bug, you might do a search and then file one if it doesn't already exist.

I tried again, this time not skipping the desired space field in the micro mount point window, even though its necessity is counter intuitive being that I already selected an existing 4.8GB partition to configure.

When you click + a prior selection is dropped, and a new mount point is created from free space based on the parameters: mount point (/boot, /, swap, etc) and size. So whatever you selected before clicking + isn't relevant.

I forget off hand if you can click on an existing partition to select it, and then click in the Mount Point field on the right and set it to / - if you can, it's required to be reformatted (unless it's btrfs).

I recall an unreproducible logic bug regarding size, where I definitely had enough free space like in your screen shot, yet anaconda would fail to add new device with the reason that there wasn't enough free space. And the only way I found out of this was to restart anaconda.
