  *shakes head in disbelief*  According to Red Hat, that file should always 
be there.  It is not "optional" when performing an interactive install -- 
even with no "optional" packages selected, that gets installed.  Red Hat's 
initscripts (the aforementioned rc.local) assume it exists.

  I suspect redhat-release was just never included in the Kickstart profile.  
Whether that is a bug in Kickstart or a bug in the dependencies depends on
your point-of-view.  Either way, it is rather ironic.  *sigh*  Only Red
Hat...
