ios - Auto-layout: What creates constraints named UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Width & Height?

Question

My layout constraints are fine in Interface Builder but an exception occurs at runtime thanks to some part of the framework applying fixed height and width constraints that I really don't want. Why are they there, and how to turn them off?

They're the last two constraints shown in the logged list:

2014-04-26 09:02:58.687 BBCNews[32058:60b] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) 
(
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0xbf478a0 UIView:0xbf4a3c0.height == 0.28125*UIView:0xbf4a3c0.width>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0xbf47190 UIView:0xbf4a3c0.leading == BNMyNewsCell_landscape:0xbf48b10.leading>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0xbf47160 UIView:0xbf4a3c0.trailing == BNMyNewsCell_landscape:0xbf48b10.trailing>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0xbf47130 BNMyNewsCell_landscape:0xbf48b10.bottom == UIView:0xbf4a3c0.bottom>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0xbf47100 UIView:0xbf4a3c0.top == BNMyNewsCell_landscape:0xbf48b10.top>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0xd4c3c40 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Width' H:[BNMyNewsCell_landscape:0xbf48b10(304)]>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0xd4c38a0 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height' V:[BNMyNewsCell_landscape:0xbf48b10(290)]>"
}
Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint 

<NSLayoutConstraint:0xbf478a0 UIView:0xbf4a3c0.height == 0.28125*UIView:0xbf4a3c0.width>

Answer 1

Based on a ton of observation I believe (but cannot know for certain) that the constraints named UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Width and UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height are created by UICollectionView and friends, and exist to enforce the size returned by the sizeForItemAtIndexPath delegate method. I guess it's there to ensure that the UICollectionViewCell set up by cellForItemAtIndexPath ends up the size that it was told it would be.

Which answers my initial question here. A second question is why were the constraints unsatisfiable? The cell's intrinsic height should have been the same as UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height. Again, I don't know for certain, but I suspect it was a rounding error (i.e. intrinsic height came to 200.1 pixels, the UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height maybe rounded to 200. The fix I came up with was to just lower the priority of the relevant cell constraint to allow UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height to have the last word.
