This is a bug in rpm >= 4.10, plain and simple. I found a reasonable 
reproducer for the case and will fix ASAP (I know where the bug is but 
whether its an old bug unmasked by other changes or a truly new one I 
dunno yet), but it wouldn't hurt to file it in bugzilla too so it gets 
properly tracked.
