F20 rescue kernel broken on kernel update

Once a 4th kernel is to be installed, yum starts removing old kernels. Perfectly normal.
However, it removed the original kernel that was installed, which was 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64, and is also the one the rescue kernel is based on. Upon removing 3.11.10, it removed /lib/modules/3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 which apparently breaks the rescue kernel because startup is halted when attempting to mount /boot/efi, which on my system is formatted hfsplus (due to it being a Mac) and the hfsplus kernel module is apparently not in the initramfs, and obviously can no longer be found in /lib/modules either.
So this seems rather broken still. Is this a yum bug, or a kernel rpm bug? It seems either the 3.11.10 kernel modules must be kept for all time (?) or it needs to create a new rescue kernel based on one of the remaining kernel versions.
