No, that's a feature and it lets you run packages that haven't been 
rebuilt for x86_64 and need 32 bit libraries (what, you have a single 
source for software?).

The bug is that it won't easily let you build multiple versions of the 
same package for testing, etc. and keep them all installed - except for 
the kernels where somebody noticed the problem and made it special case.
