Not true.
Then I still don't understand this. openvrml-devel went away between
F12 and F12-updates.
Btw, the report explicitly refers to
"fedora-updates-12-i386"
and "fedora-updates-12-x86_64" in two of its section titles and lists
many packages found in those repos.

Doesn't matter, because your quote is truncated. The two .i686 lines
you've quoted are about openvrml.i686 in the fedora-12-x86_64 repo (!).
Yes, I missed that and consequently left some important information out
of my quote. But I'm not clear on why it doesn't matter that
openvrml-0.18.3-10 is currently in F12 updates.
So what exactly is the upgrade path that's being tested and failing
here?
It's multilib breakage. Some time between F12 updates and F13
you've
killed openvrml-devel,
That's not quite accurate. openvrml-devel was killed between F12 (not
updated) and F13. It was replaced by libopenvrml-devel;
libopenvrml-devel already Obsoletes: openvrml-devel.
These changes that are in F13 are also in F12 updates.
so openvrml is no longer chosen for the
multilib repo compose. Some packagers fix that with "self-obsoletes".
In the "openvrml" package:
Obsoletes: openvrml < %{version}-%{release}
That way, openvrml.x86_64 would replace an old/obsolete openvrml.i686,
if installed.
I can do this; but I don't understand why the existence of
libopenvrml-devel and its "Obsoletes: openvrml-devel" aren't sufficient.
