So I would like someone to verify that the anaconda install
routine using the disk druid graphic partitioner can create
LVM items on the extended logical partitions

Yes, it can do that. This is my partition layout, created in the Anaconda installer:
fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        5222    41945683+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            5223        5235      104422+  83  Linux
/dev/sda3            5236        8790    28555537+  8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda4            8791       19457    85682677+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5            8791       12345    28555506   8e  Linux LVM

Agreed.  It can do it.  However, system-config-lvm fails with:
# system-config-lvm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-lvm", line 138, in ?
    runFullGUI()
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-lvm", line 123, in runFullGUI
    blvm = baselvm(glade_xml, app)
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-lvm", line 68, in __init__
    self.lvmm = lvm_model()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/lvm_model.py", line 142, in __init__
    self.__block_device_model = BlockDeviceModel()
File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDeviceModel.py", line 19, in __init__
    bd = BlockDevice(devname)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 41, in __init__
    self.reload()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 62, in reload
    self.addNoAlign(part.beg, part.end, part.id, part.bootable, part.num)
File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 200, in addNoAlign
    raise BlockDeviceErr_extended()
BlockDevice.BlockDeviceErr_extended: <BlockDevice.BlockDeviceErr_extended instance at 0xb7bd81ec>

I am not a programmer, but I read this that the gui is not happy with extended partitions.
