(For reference, Andrew also filed a report about this for the main python
package as bug 531901)

Thanks; I've fixed this in the latest version of the file:
Updated specfile: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3.spec
Updated SRPM: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-3.1.1-7.fc11.src.rpm
Diff between 3.1.1-6 and 3.1.1-7:
http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-from-3.1.1-6-to-3.1.1-7.diff

This adds an additional rpmlint warning:

python3.i686: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package
/usr/include/python3.1/pyconfig-32.h

but clearly this is deliberate, to address the issue in comment #37/bug 531901
