Why do they conflict? If there's simply an overlap of files between
the packages, then the Replaces alone should be sufficient to resolve
the problem.

4) Remove the Conflicts: gnome-admin (<= 1.0.3-2) while keeping the

I don't know if that's the right answer (there may be details I'm
missing), but from a superficial glance at the situation, it certainly
looks like a possibility.
Remember, the issue really isn't the internal integrity of our
archives so much as it is the integrity of end-users' systems. If
someone has gnome-admin from frozen, and doesn't want to upgrade it
for some reason, they should be allowed to do that unless it'll break
things. Replaces with no Conflicts is designed for that sort of
situation.
