I looked through that and it isn't easy to understand, but I have a theory 
what might be happening that I test after the next set of rawhide updates 
with a soname bump that does cover anything.

My theory is that since I am not listing any specific packages to update, 
it is acting as an upgrade all packages and locking in all installed 
packages and in effect making --allowerasing moot. My plan is when I see 
a warning about a case of interest is to then try to specifically update 
the library with --allowerasing and see what happens.
