Tt has long been known that using potentially 'stale' cursor handles, under a scripting language such as Python, which, as we look at the transaction, is modifying the BDB backing store 'underneath itself'. This will result in corruption such as this. An ancient version of 'yum' back in the Seth K Vidal days ran into this as well. This is nothing new, or unknowable as to its source
It is not RPM, it is not BDB -- it is incautious coders trying to change the tires on a moving vehicle without adequate precautions, and being surprised when 'bad stuff' TM happens
