Or could it be that '+' does something special in the shell. Strangely both work for me, although it does appear that + has some special value in a bash shell and should probably be escaped or quoted (along with the rest of the string). This might be much the same as having to escape \* to get wildcards to work in yum, because bash interprets the wildcard first and yum doesn't see what you expect it to see for the string.
