I have some scenarios for which I need to know what the expected outcome

install to fail with a multiple matches error if the package has already

* two *non-preferred* publishers exist on a system, one that has the
fmri in the catalog, and one that does not but the package was installed
from at some point in the past, would you expect image-update to fail
with a multiple matches error if the package has already been installed
from one of them even though both publishers essentially own the same fmri?
As a naive user I'd not expect (or want) any of those cases to fail.
However I'm not sure I can easily tell you what I expect the software to
do in selecting which publisher to use, all I know is that failing an
image update isn't what I'd expect. Particularly because I suspect that
failing the image update would leave the user stuck without an upgrade path.
