Note: Your system will be just as unhappy if you drop power or

In fact, that's what you are doing.
Yum has little to do with this.
In fact, yum has everything to do with this, and needs to be just as
resilient to the power failure than to the ctrl+c case (or kernel oops, or
rpm crash, or kill -9, or whatever). ie notice the next time it's run
something went wrong and propose the user the appropriate steps to clean
up the mess.
I don't find the "but it can happen other ways" argument very convincing.
Quite the contrary.
