You did not respond to either of my questions

I doubt it is a mock bug. This is not the sort of failure that mock is 
likely to cause, though I guess many things are possible. The error is 
being thrown rpm and that error complains about the spec file, so either 
the spec file is bad or rpm is parsing it badly. As such, the most 
likely culprits are: rpm bug, bad spec file.

We won't get anywhere without more details. Could you answer my 
questions above please? Also, have you been able to craft a simple spec 
file that reproduces the issue?
