this is not a problem, lots of packages do this.

the bug would be something to do with the way that package ( either the
x86_64 or the i386 one ) was built, or it could also be you had i386
repo's enabled on the machine, and ran updates / installs against that
). We've had another person complain about this and open a bug, but
neither me nor Johnny were able to reproduce this issue, so cant really
start looking for a fix.....

if you can, add some reproduceability instructions and add to bug #1356
at http://bugs.centos.org/ that would help sort this issue out.
