Odd issue with loading repo/key when NOT using GUI

Not sure if I'm the only one seeing this, and I just confirmed I an
reporduce on the Public RC1 ISO, but if I boot a KVM instance either
with the full DVD ISO directly or do an http based install..

If I use "usessh=1" and log in remotely once it gets that far, if I run
yast and use the GUI installer it works fine.

However, if I ssh in and start it as:
DISPLAY= yast
so that I get the text/curses installer, it fails to add the repo with
the error:
==
Unable to create repository..
[snip]
[snip install URL] Valid metadata not found at specified URL.
- File $tmpfile doesn't contain public key data

Try again?

Not sure why this happens, but it does.
