I'm not disagreeing with you that the plugin is useful. I had it
installed, which is why I had a vague understanding of how it works.
As I understand it, it's something like:

"You're asking to remove X, and I know of Y and Z which are only
required by X - so you should probably remove X,Y, AND Z at the same
time"

In this case, it's slightly buggered, because it's trying to remove
something (possibly indirectly) which should be installed but isn't
/required/ by anything.

I don't unfortunately know enough about how it works to tell you if
it's a bug - have you tried asking whoever the maintainers of the
plugin are (I'm not trying to pass the buck - honest!)

I think it's very hard for us to know your problem in this case
without having an exact copy of your system and RPM database to look
at. I'm betting you are right in your diagnosis - but when I removed
all the *.i?86 packages from my system, the same problem did not occur
- and I now have a system with no i?86 packages which does have
basesystem and yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves installed.
