In case the BATS test change, here's the repo setup more specifically (skipping the Puppet content):

Component CV 1:
> Repos:
-> https://jlsherrill.fedorapeople.org/fake-repos/needed-errata/
-> https://partha.fedorapeople.org/test-repos/separated/modules-rpms/
-> https://partha.fedorapeople.org/test-repos/separated/rpm-deps/
> Filters:
> Errata: Exclude WALRUS-2013:0002
-> Module streams: Include walrus 5.21 module stream
-> Packages: Exclude *
> Envs for latest version: Library

Component CV 2:
> Repos: https://jlsherrill.fedorapeople.org/fake-repos/needed-errata/
> Envs for latest version: Library, Test

Composite CV:
> Components: Component 1 latest and Test CV latest
> Envs for latest version: Library, Test

Incremental update Component CV 1 with composite propagation:

hammer content-view version incremental-update --organization="${ORGANIZATION}" \
    --content-view-version-id=$cvv_id --errata-ids=WALRUS-2013:0002 --propagate-all-composites=true \
    --lifecycle-environments="Library" 

Now check the composite cv's latest CVV for the whale package in question.

I believe I understand why this occurs. Here are my notes from a trial I did (note zoo == needed-errata):

Repos in Component 1: modules-rpms, rpm-deps, zoo with filters from above
Repos in Component 2: zoo

After incremental update, looking at Component 1:

Pulp 2 grabs the following from modules-rpms:

walrus-0.71-1.noarch
walrus-5.21-1.noarch
whale-0.2-1.noarch

And the following from rpm-deps:

shark-0.1-1.noarch
stork-0.12-2.noarch

Pulp 3 grabs the following from modules-rpms:

walrus-0.71-1.noarch
walrus-5.21-1.noarch

And the following from rpm-deps:

shark-0.1-1.noarch
stork-0.12-2.noarch

And the following from zoo:

whale-0.2-1.noarch

After incremental update, looking at Composite:

Pulp 2 grabs the following from modules-rpms:

walrus-0.71-1.noarch
walrus-5.21-1.noarch
whale-0.2-1.noarch

And the following from rpm-deps:

shark-0.1-1.noarch
stork-0.12-2.noarch

And the following from zoo:

< Everything from zoo >

Pulp 3 grabs the following from modules-rpms:

walrus-0.71-1.noarch
walrus-5.21-1.noarch

And the following from rpm-deps:

shark-0.1-1.noarch
stork-0.12-2.noarch

And the following from zoo:

< Everything from zoo >

Pulp 3 grabbed whale-0.2-1.noarch from zoo rather than modules-rpms when incrementally updating Component 1 due to dep solving being on. When the composite was incrementally updated, zoo with 1 rpm merged with full zoo, and the duplicate whale was cancelled out. Hence, one package was missing on the Pulp 3 side of things.

TL;DR

I think this bug is caused by the randomness of dependency solving during incremental updating. This randomness should be verified.

I've also confirmed that this issue is not confined to incremental updating. If publishing the components with dep solving, the same issue is possible.
