I just realized that there was a third option, namely that the init scripts changed so that the "rhgb" option was now necessary, when it wasn't before. Judging from the thread "ok, graphical boot, one more time" (especially the post found at <http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2003-October/msg04131.html
), that is exactly what has happened.
That means that the way to fix this buggy behavior in the final release is to have Anaconda add "rhgb" to grub.conf on install.
Have you read the release notes for the new release?

Fedora Core 1 now uses a graphical interface while booting. The graphical boot screen will appear once the kernel has loaded. Graphical booting is controlled by the GRAPHICAL line in the /etc/sysconfig/init file; set it to "no" to permanently disable graphical booting. In addition, the parameter rhgb must be appended to your bootloader command line.
Systems that have been upgraded to Fedora Core 1 will not be configured to include the graphical boot feature. You must install the rhgb package, and add the rhgb boot-time parameter to your bootloader configuration.
