No, I think we're all seeing it.

Basically there are just two files that conflict:  the script 
/usr/bin/mozilla
and the man page.   If you want a workaround you can try this.  It works
for me, but use at your own risk.

    rpm -Uvh --force --relacepkgs mozilla-1.7.12-3.i386.rpm
    rpm -Uvh --force --relacepkgs mozilla-1.7.12-3.x86_64.rpm

That leaves the x86_64 version of  mozilla in /usr/bin/mozilla
and provides an i386 version of /usr/lib/mozilla/libxpcom.so
that can be used by openoffice.org.
