Does this continue to happen, or was it a one off? What does: "rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest" say? If it still happens and nothing is printed for the above, would it be possible for you to alter /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py and put a: print "DBG:", updated ...at line 2964 (Ie. just before the rpmdb.searchPkgTuple() call) and then run yum with -d 8 and attach the result?
I could reproduce it on my F11 system with yum update --enablerepo=rawhide but the system has been updated to F12/rawhide now and the problem probably can't be reproduced. On an other F11 system I also can't reproduce it. Sorry; if the stacktrace doesn't say enough you may close as WORKSFORME. But perhaps the situation of an empty list from searchPkgTuple could be handled better - either by not crashing on it or by logging the information you ask for.
