When Fedora is packaged for a particular version, only the rpm's for
that arch are included in the distro. However, scim-bridge-gtkimm
package is available through yum for both i386 & x86_64. Probably all
you need to do is setup a repo for i386 packages for FC6T1 :-)

Is there a bug filed i Red Hat bugzilla for the same?

Yes, you are right. I just checked FC5's tree at download.fedora.redhat.com
Some i386 rpms seem to be included in the distro for x86_64.

Being in bugzilla, this issue can be tested by the Fedora QE team.
Also, the bug filled in bugzilla will give your point a strong
reference so as the necessary i386 rpms can be bundled along x86_64
rpms in future releases.

Right, unfortunately it is missing from test1.
This is also no scim-libs.i386 in the x86_64 tree...

Yes, indeed it should.  And it should definitely be in test2. :)
Thanks for the reminder.

I opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196661
for this issue
