Just to chip in on this, I build 3 or 4 images daily that feature gnome-games (inc. bb-demo) on several build hosts (ok, none are Fedora based, mostly DEB based setups). Can't say I have had any build issues with gnome-games on any of those setups (gnome-system-tools is my nemesis today and that's no in bb-demo ;-)). I personally don't favour taking packages out of an image if there are build issues on a small subset of systems. I think Phil (or someone else) suggest you consider contributing your build logs to OESTATS/TinderBox (http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/How_do_I_send_automatic_success_and_ failure_reports) at least with that setup you leave a reference the failing logs in bug reports/mails so people can have a look into all the gory details :).
