Yes. It's in program.log:

09:27:39,180 INFO program: grub2-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
09:27:39,180 INFO program: grub2-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for cross-disk install.
09:27:39,180 DEBUG program: Return code: 1

basically you're doing something sufficiently weird with multiple
disks, at least one of which is GPT-labelled, and a BIOS (not UEFI)
install, that it causes grub2 to barf but anaconda doesn't have a
specific check to save you from yourself...
