Well - I may have spoken too soon - to a degree. The issue seems to be that, at some point in the past, an update DID install duplicate i386 packages. Using Yum Extender, I went through and found these and removed them. Doing this while simultaneously performing the updates to the 64-bit packages allowed the update to complete successfully. I still consider this an issue - the i386 duplicates should never have been installed through dependencies to begin with. But it seems I have the problem under control on my system for now...
