Odd yum 'multilib' error

I just did a 'yum update --skip-broken' on my Rawhide box. the
skip-broken resolution is pretty complex, it looks like, which is
probably what causes yum to get its pants in a twist, but the resulting
'error' is amusing:

Protected multilib versions:
libnm-gtk-0.9.9.0-3.git20130515.fc20.x86_64 !=
libnm-gtk-0.9.9.0-2.git20130515.fc20.x86_64

note: the _same_ arch. It's not a case where it's going to wind up with
different versions of libnm-gtk for i686 and x86_64; it somehow thinks
it's going to wind up with two different x86_64 builds installed at once
and that is a multilib error, or something.

(I only have the x86_64 libnm-gtk installed in the first place, there
really shouldn't be any multilib considerations here at all).

I've uploaded the complete console output to
