Did you switch to TTY3 or TTY4 to get an idea what might be wrong?

2 x "Yes".

But note, the better question would have been: Does out comps.xml have 
the right format? But I think it has, as it works just fine with 
stand-alone pirut (if one complies and runs the F8 version on rawhide)

Double "no" from my side:

- Users should not care where a package comes from, hence groups like 
"Additional Software Repositories" are just bad bad bad. Users should 
just select groups like "Gnome" or "KDE" and get the important things 
for those environments. That's how our current comps.xml is designed; as 
it seems to work well with the stand-alone pirut I'd right now tend to 
say the bug is in anaconda

- the user should not care of the '-release' packages; they should get 
installed by default if a repo is configured. But seems that doesn't work

I tend to say it's the same (or a similar) bug in anaconda that is 
responsible for both problems.
