They are normal. You're not wrong. The problem is well understood at
this point: a module was given a stream default - meaning it becomes
the default source of packages it contains. That module includes
protobuf, meaning it takes over from the non-modular repo as the
default source of protobuf. The build of protobuf it contains was
missing some bits that other packages depend on, which broke those
packages.
I guess I should say that part of my problem is that:
1. I didn't ask for/want a module.
2. They aren't actually needed. After disabling them and reinstalling the programs I care about (or could have used distro-sync) they weren't actually needed.

Well, yes. That's what happens. If this didn't actually break anything
for you, you don't really need to panic, but if you want to sync with
the current state (where the module stream default has been removed at
least temporarily), just disable the modules that were enabled and then
run 'dnf distro-sync'. That should return you to the non-modular
builds.
I guess I understand some programs needed a specific/older version of something as a "good" reason to put something in a module, but I'm finding myself more a purest and I don't think we should have more than one source of "truth", or in this case, multiple ways to fulfill a dependency.
Thanks,
Richard
