I can reproduce this. yaboot-installer uses 'user-params' to determine 
extra boot parameters.

After booting with 'tasks="standard, kde-desktop", running user-params 
gives the following result:
# user-params
kde-desktop"

Thanks for reporting this issue and good to hear that the installation was 
otherwise OK.

Cheers,
