I think you should file a bugzilla against yum (or rpm?) about this, as it
certainly seems a seductive thing to try. Either yum (or rpm?) should
handle it correctly or they should at least refuse to try. I see you have
additional data about the problem. It might turn out to be just a special
case of something more general that yum (rpm?) should be verifying.
