New yum's STILL not updating FC3T2

OK.  Here's the story so far...

I have always used yum to update/upgrade successfully.
I sit behind an http proxy server and define http_proxy=http://... to make
yum work.
I run yum as root.
I use a fast local mirror which I can manually download from without any
problem.
I couldn't use yum-2.0.7-1.1 to update FC3T1 to FC3T2 because of the
base-fonts conflict.  However, I worked around this by downloading and
installing the xorg-x11* and fonts-xorg* rpm's manually.  I could then use
yum to do the rest.  So I am now at FC3T2.

The problem is that every version of yum (up to 2.1.5) I've tried since
yum-2.0.7 just won't work.  The header downloading seems really slick in the
new versions, and yum check-update works fine.  But when I do yum update I
get this:

# yum update

Error: failure: Fedora/RPMS/gcc-java-3.4.2-4.i386.rpm from development:

I've gone back to using yum-2.0.7-1.1 and that works just fine.

Any ideas?
