That sounds like a good idea, but here's what happens:

  # ll /usr/lib/yum-plugins/tmprepo.py
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7491 May 19 09:18 /usr/lib/yum-plugins/tmprepo.py
 
  # rpm -qf /usr/lib/yum-plugins/tmprepo.py
  yum-plugin-tmprepo-1.1.22-1.fc10.noarch

  # rpm -e yum-plugin-tmprep
  error: package yum-plugin-tmprep is not installed

So the offending file is there; rpm says it came from
yum-plugin-tmprepo-1.1.22-1.fc10.noarch; but rpm thinks it isn't
installed.

Anyone else have an idea?
