Still see this in the latest Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20171218.n.0.iso,and console=ttyS0 will also cause the hang,proposing a blocker.
Comment 9 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2017-12-19 03:10:24 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 28-beta by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

 This bug affects the criteria:
The installer must be able to complete an installation using the serial console interface
Comment 10 Martin Kolman 2017-12-20 14:36:31 UTC 
Looks like this was caused by systemd 236 no longer liking an escape sequence in a spurious echo call in the tmux service file. 

A PR fixing this issue (by dropping the echo call) is here:

I don't think the "fix" here is correct. See https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/ab29bdff2e041ec4f354c3334d8aa15ea8366a17#commitcomment-26397639 for details.
Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2017-12-20 18:17:49 UTC 
CCing Zbigniew; see above, I don't think this story is over yet, and I don't think the fix is as simple as removing the command. We may still need to be able to do this somehow.

So, the bug reported here definitely is fixed now. I still think the fix was wrong, but probably the best way to handle that is to close this and file a new bug. So I'll do that.
