Hmm. I am not sure myself but Tobias told me this is related to slicer mode.

What I understood is that in planner mode you can get those "dangling" requirements (required but not included, and thus possibly with version ranges),
whereas in slicer mode you only get the (transitively) included bundles, and these always have perfect version matches.

Maybe Tobias can comment?
