Just did it -- and no, the error is still the same. The error says that
it is most likely a bug with their script, and it wanted me to save the
error and send it off to RedHat. However, the dialog provided no way to
save the error. And you couldn't select the text and dump it in an
application. I think soon I will be moving to Debian anyway. It seems as
though (and I hadn't noticed until now) RedHat now wants me to purchase
"entitlements" if I want updates to the OS. 

And yes, I know that Fedora is supposed to be free, but that is what the
website says, and there seems to be no portal to allow Fedora updates;
in fact there is not much mention of Fedora at all. I get the feeling
now that Fedora has now become a one-time download of an experimental
and possibly broken set of RPMs, and if you want bug fixes and the like,
then you have to purchase "entitlements" from RedHat.
