FWIW, this my bug report fell on deaf ears:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1246253

I find it disheartening how it was closed without even acknowledging
that the problem exists, so I decided not to pursue this further.  If
someone is willing to put in the effort to push for this, please reopen
the bug.  Or maybe a new one, specifically on --refresh not doing what it
is supposed to.
