Confirmed - running "yum list extras" on my F13 guest, I got a very long list of
updates-testing packages, even though I updated within the window.  Doing yum
downgrade on each of these packages seems to work fine, so one way to deal with
problems caused by this (I'm thinking of dependency problems when
installing/updating) would be to just downgrade packages as needed.  However, I
decided to reinstall instead, and make sure updates-testing was disabled before
updating.
