Just to nitpick a little more, shouldn't that be:
error: Failed dependencies: glib = 0:1.2.10 is needed by glib-devel-0:1.2.10-10
For completeness?
:)
Because glib-devel-1.2.10-10 denotes a package file name and epochs have never been part of the rpm file name.
In either place, the epoch would only cause more confusion among users:
error: Failed dependencies: glib = 1.2.10 is needed by glib-devel-1.2.10-10
Is uncomprehensible for the user when he tried to install glib-devel-1.2.10-10 and doesn't know about epochs.

Is uncomprehensible for the user when he has glib-1.2.10-10 and doesn't know where to get glib-0:1.2.10-10. ;-P
