Locally-built balsa works fine, after installation of a host of
dependencies, which should have been handled by the rpm.

Hi!

It's badly shaped library versioning, which you can see in FC. This is generally the libgmime upstream bug AND the FC distro bug. Changing ABI without raising so-version is prohibited (strike upstream). But the distro builders should be aware of such upstream problems and fix it on their side (strike FC).

For the users: Logically if you see just upgraded program complaining about some gmime symbols, you should upgrade libgmime as well to resolve these problems.
