yum delta problems

When I was running f19 beta, I mostly ignored this, but I've
done a distro-sync now and the update I just did once again
got a slew of deltas do not match errors:

I can assure you, I am not manually modifying anything installed by
those packages to cause this mismatch. I do notice they are all
32 bit packages, but I'm running 64 bit. Is yum trying to apply
a 64 bit delta to a 32 bit package or something?

In addition, after the install it apparently didn't cleanup those 14
packages:

[root at zooty ~]# yum clean packages
Loaded plugins: afteryum, fastestmirror, langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Cleaning repos: fedora google-chrome rpmfusion-free rpmfusion-free-updates
              : rpmfusion-nonfree rpmfusion-nonfree-updates updates
14 package files removed

Should I file a bugzilla against yum (or something else)?
