I've seen this too, and always assumed it was due to a label named "/boot" already existing, and it isn't bright enough to notice "Oh, that's the one I'm gonna destroy and reformat" (but I don't actually know anything, just a guess). Wit till you try to install suse on the same machine and tell it to mount your old partitions - suse now believes that non-alphanumeric characters are illegal in disk labels, so it conveniently relabels your disks for you (which is quite a surprise when you try to reboot fedora again - at least one of the suse test versions did this to me, don't know if they improved it in the release since I stopped telling the installer to mount the partitions and just edited the fstab by hand after the install :-).
