It still feels like a bit of an abuse of libexec.
I prefer using %{_libdir}/%{name}(-%{version})/bin for this purpose.
Some packages do that (that is, keep their binaries there).
What reason(s) do you have for the preference ?
If you use %{_libdir} then you will have to deal with multi-lib which,
in my opinion, needlessly complicates paths in the environment-modules
files.
If you use %{_libexecdir} then you do *not* have to worry about any
multilib issues -- they are automatically sorted out for you.
