I would guess because it's only considering packages in
-updates-candidate as buildroot override candidates, and -3 is in
-updates-testing.

That's just Python letting you know that Unicode is a thing it does

I'd guess that's a cascade failure from above: it's not going to create
a BR-override if it thinks that a newer package "already exists" in the
buildroot.

It certainly sounds like a series of bugs in bodhi though.
