I do experience the same issue.

Because there is no graphics (option "--nographics"), it is not possible
to see the display inside virt-manager for example. I say this because
it's the setup that I am using :
when I encountered the problem, my workaround was to launch the
installation with --vnc instead of --nographics and to use virt-manager
to open the VM's display and continue the installation in graphic mode.
If you have installed dom0 without the X server, you will maybe have to
install fonts for virt-manager (I experienced this and had to install
the fonts with : "yum install fonts-truetype-apl fonts-x11-apl")

Note that the same virt-install command line options launched for an
installation of Fedora Core 6 ("-l
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/"; as
of "man virt-install" examples) will work nicely with "--nographics"!

Now, I suspect the kernel used for booting the installation (the one
located in "redhat/linux/fedora/x86_64/7/os/images/xen/", which is in
fact dowloaded by virt-install to launch the installation), to use a tty
different from the standard one.

Maybe you can change this behaviour by changing the parameters passed to
the kernel with the "-x" option.
In your example, "-x" is used to give the kickstart location. Maybe you
can try to append something like "-x tty=xvc0" (xvc0 seems to be the tty
used when doing "virsh/xm console domU")

If anyone have a more precise solution.. Don't hesitate !
