Default F15 preupgrade seems not to work with /boot on RAID

All packages downloaded, but preupgrade reported an error on the console
I ran it from regarding the fact that /boot was on a software RAID
device. The GUI, on the other hand, appeared to finish normally and
reported that the installation would start on reboot. It didn't.

So is there a reason preupgrade can't work with /boot on RAID when the
original (F12, IIRC, upgraded to F14) installation did? And why doesn't
the GUI detect the error and fail?

I'm seeing the same problem--GUI doesn't complain, but doesn't work and
preupgrade-cli complains. Any suggestions?
