Yep, that's what I figured.  In 1.2.x, cobbler was more trusting and I
don't think it verified the arch if you specified it on the command line. 
It's a bit more strict now, though there should probably be some alternate
method to catch corner cases like yours.  I'd submit a trac bug for this
still so we can make the arch checking a bit more robust in the future.
