How is the F13 installer supposed to behave on low ram

You get to keep both pieces. =)
Release notes state:
#
Minimum RAM for text-mode: 256 MiB
#
Minimum RAM for graphical: 348 MiB
#
Recommended RAM for graphical: 512 MiB
it's a very inexact science, though, it depends on exactly
what install media you're using and what kind of install
you're trying to do. We try to keep to those numbers as
much as possible.
Ironically the installer requires two times more memory than
LXDE recommends ( 128+ MiB ) for run time usage
sad but true.....
not long ago, I've heard something about plans to drop text mode
support ... that would make it three times ;-)
Text mode is still there, you just don't get as many options as graphical
mode. If you need those options and cannot run graphical mode, you need to
use kickstart.
<useless rant>
but I guess that LXDE should recommend at least 384 MiB when
running on Fedora - last week I forgot to add "-m 512" to qemu,
so I've started my virtual machine with the default of 128 MiB
and 'yum upgrade' (in text mode, init 3) got killed ... so you
need more, let's say 256 for yum + 128 for LXDE makes 384
btw, have I mentioned that 4 GiB modules are still not available
in my favourite local store, and very few Internet shops here in
Czech rep. have them (for insane prices, of course)?
</useless rant>
We [anaconda team] have actually been working on reducing the memory
requirements during installation. We have a number of changes in place now in
rawhide to help in this area and probably more coming.
