What versions of pirut and yum do you have installed? If you update both of them to the current development versions, does this still occur?
After running the update to the latest versions (as found by the auto updater) the problem no longer occurs. The problem occurred when using the "stock" versions delivered with the x86_64 versions of Fedora Core 7 Test3.
