Resolution
The issue has been reported to engineering.
As a work around, a virtual machine can be created from the command line with a command similar to:
virt-install \
--name test \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio,cache=none,size=15 \
--vnc \
--noautoconsole \
--vcpus=2 \
--ram=1024 \
--network bridge=br0 \
--location=http://network.installation.server.com/install/sles11-sp3/x86_64/
