Yes, that's correct.

My guess is that this is again a consequence of the failing install
script for librsvg2-2.2.3-6.i386.rpm.  I suspect that script which runs
at the end of installation is supposed to do cleanup and remove the
older version.  It is failing because the pixbuf.loaders script has been
moved to a subdirectory named i686-redhat-linux-gnu instead of 
i386-redhat-linux-gnu.  There is a good chance that changing the spec
file (or the script it refers to?) will fix the problem.
