For those on this list, I found an upgrade to yum 3.1.6 and
yum-utils
1.1.2 and a few bug fixes did the trick.

I looked at pungi, but found that 1) it needs absolutely
bleeding edge yum
to run and 2) I'm totally appalled the you still need to run
it as root,
because it runs the old anaconda-runtime stuff.

I'd recommend that you stick to yumdownloader. I'd also
suggest that you
customise anaconda (if required) simply by providing an
images/updates.img
file, built with mksquashfs. No need for the arcanery of
RedHat's stuff.

One thing to bear in mind is that there are a few places
where anaconda
will add packages to your transaction set based on
configuration choices
you have made. I doubt that would explain the magnitude of
difference you
saw.
