That should normally not happen, I'm not sure what libsolv does in this
case in the absence of repo priorities (which would provide an ordering
among otherwise identical versions).

That sort of thing is supposed to be handled at another level in the
distros using libsolv based installers (i.e. mirrorbrain).  WHile I
agree that this would be sensible behaviour for us, I don't know how
much we'd be relying on accidental behaviour.
