Yup, its apparently present in all versions of rpm which support %caps. 
The reason why it hasn't been spotted before this is that it apparently 
only occurs if the %caps entry is either a wildcard or the last file. So 
as a temporary workaround you can just move the %caps entry earlier in 
the %files list and it'll build without crashing and burning.

There's already a RHEL-6 bug on this, and this is the real "duplicate" 
of the issue you're seeing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904818

Feel free to clone #904818 for Fedora 17 and 18, but dont reopen #877512 
as the issue in rpm 4.11-pre was slightly different (although closely 
related)
