That's not a bug.  Mysterious and broken behavior are expected when
you mix components from uncoordinated repositories.  And when you have
multiple 3rd party repositories enabled for yum, packages with the
same name will update from whichever has the newest version.   Yum
doesn't care that updating from a different repo than the package was
originally installed from is likely to actually get a somewhat
different and incompatible package - it only cares about the name and
version number.
