Not wishing to beat a dead horse, but in 'man dnf' we find:
--repo=REPO_ID,...
Enable just specified repositories.
This is a list option which can be specified multiple times.
Accepted values are ids, or a glob of ids.
so I think my interpretation is correct and the actual behaviour is a
bug. I'll consider filing it in BZ.
