Odd - all problems went away after update to SME 7.4. Apparently perl-DBIx-SearchBuilder is not in the smeos repo any more (as far as I can tell), so the perl-DBIx-DBSchema requirement for perl-DBIx-SearchBuilder is met from dag with no problems.
I can't find any useful discussions about overall yum-based solutions for this type of error (low-priority repo has an update that includes a 'require' for a newer version of a file from a high-priority repo), which leads me to the following conclusions / recommendations:
# This error will only manifest itself to <s>idiots</s> people like me who install experimental stuff on their servers.
# yum-plugin-priorities should therefor be included by default, with all sme/centos repos set to priority 10
# Potential errors should be handled in documentation, along the lines of:
#* if you install any contribs or non-sme packages using any form of ''--enablerepo=<xxx>'', update with ''yum --enablerepo=* update'' (or separate --enablerepo=<xxx> arguments for every repo you've ever included using ''--enablerepo='') to make sure you get any available updates for your extra packages
#* If you get a 'missing dependancy error' from yum,
#** re-run yum manually using "--exclude <pkgname>" on the command line, replacing <pkgname> with the package that is preventing your update
#** If you suspect that the blocked update resolves a security issue, you must decide for yourself whether to compromise the original sme/centos package and force the update of the non-sme/centos package by running ''yum --noplugins --enablerepo=* update <pkgname>
