Unable to install f41 on existing md raid device

I’m trying to install f41 on a system with an existing RAID device and I receive the following error immediately when the install starts:

An error occurred while activating your storage configuration.

Process reported exit code 1: mdadm: Value "foo:0" cannot be set as devname. Reason: Not POSIX compatible.

The hostname of the machine is ‘foo’ and the md device name is ‘md0’. mdadm constructs device names using : and that name can be seen using ‘mdadm --detail /dev/md0’.

The device is currently running without issue on my f39 installation.

After some more digging, it looks like it should be fixed in f42 according to this BZ. Should know soon.
