This is due to a bug I found in rpm-python where an .A is stripped away 
from an NEVR string.  R contains a .something and therefore will get 
dropped. According to the dieties of rpm, this is due to some legacy 
multilib debug hack.

For the gory details (including yum output), please see the bugzilla:
