I don't think keeping an old version of the filesystem package (because the

installed instead of the current one is a good idea.
You're right in this case, but the three cases I encountered (see below) were not that serious. The error messages weren't very helpful: they just stated the conflict. I am not sure what is the best recommendation we should give; I could think of four:
 
- report this problem in Bugzilla, wait until the problem is fixed in Fedora repos and try again
- consider ignoring the conflict if appropriate (equivalent of --skip-broken, would require changes in DNF)
- delete the offending packages and try again, and then reinstall
- downgrade the offending  package (to what?) and try again

I did the delete/upgrade/reinstall, and also reported the problems; two are apparently already fixed by packages
