No reply so far - maybe that helps: I am not doing precisely like you, 
but something quite similar. I choose "Custom install" and then uncheck 
all checkbuttons, except KDE (having a desktop when I first boot makes 
things easier). I do no other manual package selection at install (I 
post-load packages with a script at my first boot - a similar script 
then also throws away the KDE stuff that automatically comes with the 
minimum install, but that I do not want - having a script that 
determines the packages to load allows to define precisely the packages 
I want to install in my server - or laptop, if it comes to that).

With this procedure, I get the two security items at the end of the list 
in the "summary" screen, the "Security Level" item allowing to choose 
between security levels.

So, security level selection has not gone away, but maybe is not offered 
under some specific conditions.

PS (a wild guess): are the security items simply scrolled-off your 
summary screen? - the vertical scrollbars and their position are not 
strikingly visible in the various installation screens.
