But why does yum assume that a dependency of an x86_64 package can be

Why not?
If something requires FOO and something else provides FOO - what
difference does it make if it is from another arch as long as the
arch is compatible with the system?
That only works if FOO is an executable and not a library, no?
libraries that are auto-prov'd - will get arch-specifc on their own.
Which isn't the case for gecko-libs; or for anything that's getting
dlopen'd. The packaging guidelines probably need to raise the
visibility of this issue.
