Well, first of all, you're coming from a "beta" environment and you were "warned" about potential problems and you accepted you fate.  :-) :-)

Well, to answer the first question.  Are the 32-bit packages installed?  I know on my "work" system there are plenty of i686 packages installed to support some 32-bit apps, such as skype, that I've installed.

If they are installed, and you don't know why or if you need them....you can always un-install.  If you don't want to un-install them you can always "yum reinstall" them.

I think I would concentrate more on resolving the issue than filing a bugzilla in this instance.  I think it would be rather difficult to determine the circumstances leading up to the current situation.
