Rawhide perl dependency generator flaky?

I've been doing some rebuilds of my packages for the gcc 4.7 mass
rebuild and when comparing the F16 and newly-rebuilt packages, I seem
to be losing a lot of the perl dependencies.
For instance, with smbldap-tools, rpmdiff says (amongst other things):
removed REQUIRES perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.14.1)
removed REQUIRES perl(Digest::MD5)
removed REQUIRES perl(Digest::SHA1)
removed REQUIRES perl(FindBin)
removed REQUIRES perl(Getopt::Long)
removed REQUIRES perl(Getopt::Std)
removed REQUIRES perl(MIME::Base64)
removed REQUIRES perl(Net::LDAP::LDIF)
removed REQUIRES perl(Time::Local)
removed REQUIRES perl(lib)
removed REQUIRES perl(smbldap_tools)
added REQUIRES perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.14.2)
The Digest::MD5 dependency for instance *should* be there because it
appears in the /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd script:
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5);
Similarly, I did a rebuild of the main perl package on Friday and it
appears to have dropped some dependencies too:

Perhaps it's not such a good idea to do a mass rebuild until we figure
out what's going on here, lest we have to do it all again?
