I ran 'dnf upgrade' this morning and got a bunch of proposed

See
separate thread.

The odd thing is that *none* of the upgrades applied, even things
completely unrelated to Chrome. When I re-ran the upgrade and added
'--
exclude google-chrome-stable', then it all worked.

This looks like a regression. IIRC in the past dnf would have
installed
everything that didn't depend on the failing item. Am I mistaken?

Any error in the checking will abort the entire transaction.
Otherwise,
it would have to go back and redo all the dependency checking again.

I don't recall it doing that before but I may be wrong. AFAIK it
doesn't happen if some repo is inaccessible, which at least
superficially would seem to be a comparable problem.

It's not. The repo data isn't available so it won't be used for calculating the update transaction. The resulting transaction is still consistent. There is a repo option to make it required, in which case dnf will stop if it can't access the repo, but again that's still before calculating the transaction.
