I had a similar issue on ppc. Several hours were spent tracking down 
this issue. After much teeth nashing it was written of as the system 
overheating.

Started when a:

yum upgrade

was run yesterday on 25 Jan rawhide. Yum crapped with a bus error. It 
left the the rpm db with multiple copies of several rpms and a few 
corrupt rpms. Guessing the clean up phase of the update did not complete 
so it left two different versions.

While trying to rescue the system prelink was having issues and ld.so 
was not getting completely installed out of a a rpm along with a long 
laundry list of things that I can't remember.

Long story short it was recovered but the situation was very strange...

Like you not sure where to file a BZ
