I saw a similiar thing today. I wanted to install the gettext-devel _BINARY_
package.
I failed to select the Exp radio button and instead I just used the category
window
to cycle trough the different version for gettext-devel. Each time I ended
up with
libgettextpo package being selected for installation i.e. when I went to the
partial 
view I could see libgettextpo selected for installtion. My setup is
2.340.2.5.

Btw I recall that in the past I've reported some kind of setup misbehaviour 
in conjunction
with _SOURCE_ packages. Unfortunately I don't have any other recollections
anymore.
