After you left IRC, we realized klapmeutz was correct about the provides thing. We realized that kernel26beyond said it provides kernel26 in its info, while kernel26ck, kernel26mm, and kernel26suspend2 do not say they provide kernel26. More evidence pointing to this is that pacman -Ss ^mpd$ (with smoons repo which has mpd-svn) shows both mpd and mpd-svn.
Yeah, I didn't even notice it regexes 'provides' as well... in fact, that doesn't appear documented anywhere and I actually didn't know it worked that way. Do we want this behavior? While I can see if being useful, shouldn't the actual output contain something to indicate WHY it matched?
