Packages are pulled in as multilib either from being named -devel,
or bevcause they package something obviously determinable as a 'library'.
I suspect the modules don't appear to be libraries.
Is there something wrong with the process that pulls in multilib then?
sane-backends-libs-gphoto2 x86_64 repo deps have been broken for a
long time due to missing the i386 package in the x86_64 repo. For
reference, here are the contents of the two packages:
rpm -qvpl sane-backends-libs-gphoto2-1.0.19-7.fc9.x86_64.rpm
