Another thing is that febootstrap doesn't run any %pre/%post scripts from RPMs. For libguestfs we keep an eye on what these scripts are doing for the subset of RPMs we use, and sometimes add workarounds in the appliance /init script. If FreeIPA is doing anything significant in %pre/%post scripts then it could require some workarounds.
