The anaconda bug #980576 was fixed for anaconda-rhel7 and anaconda-f20 branches only, what corresponds to Fedora-20 and CentOS 7 distributives. This is git commit fix, as an example:
----------------------------------- RHEL 7 branch ---------------------------
$ git log | grep -w8 980576

Catch race of network device state vs reading its config properties (#919478, #1005681)
CentOS 6.5 based on the anaconda-rhel4 branch, what unfortunately havn't got fixed for this bug.
The most plausible reason is sources are different.
The bug fix was applied to the file nm.py

This file pyanaconda/nm.py is absent in the anaconda-rhel4 branch at all and as the result in anaconda using in CentOS 6.5
My summary is:
=======================
Migration to CentOS 7 defentely will fix the issue.
Merely apply the bug fix from (Fedora/Centos 7) to Centos 6.5 is not possible, the sources are slightly different.
