To confirm, with the PPA the installation continues, and "Configuring certificate server" succeeds.

However, now "Configuring the web interface" fails with

  [12/21]: setting up ssl
  [error] RuntimeError: Certificate issuance failed (CA_REJECTED)
ipapython.admintool: ERROR Certificate issuance failed (CA_REJECTED)
ipapython.admintool: ERROR The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information

and in the log there is this:
