I should add that this is also one reason why we want to
work entirely in premul color space - so we don't have to premul
anything, we just assume the inputs to be so and simply use them
as given.
If one instead assumes the inputs to be non-premul, then
one has to, at the compositing stage, premultiply them -- what you
input is not really what gets used for compositing.

What engine is going to "handle" non-premul argb "natively"?
That's what evas' software engines do right now, and creates the
inconsistency with the render engine.
You can't perform transforms in non-premul color space and
expect to obtain the same results as similar transforms in premul
color space.
You are mixing two different kinds of things here - yuv vs rgb
is NOT the same thing as premul vs non-premul.
