This has been acknowledged as a bug and is on its way to being fixed.

This is a valid concern and it is one we are investigating a solution
for right now. One possible answer: if the RPM location is specified
directly (URL or filesystem location) assume that the user wants to
override the modular package.

We just adopted the policy that a default module stream may not depend
on any non-default module streams. As long as this is properly
enforced, this issue is addressed already.
