Following up to my own message, upgrades to 4.4 have been much smoother with:
yum update yum sqlite python-sqlite ; yum update

I spoke too soon. This hung as well on another machine. A trace of the process reveals the dreaded futex:
futex(0xaa2cd28, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL
The machines where this happened are all identical:
Gateway E-1800, Celeron 1300 MHz stepping 01, Maxtor 2B020H1 ATA, 512 MB memory
