Circular BuildRequires in F8 ??

I suppose this might be better suited for another list, I'm not sure.
I've noticed two instances now of circular BuildRequires in Fedora 8.
First - java-1.7.0-icedtea
It BuildRequires java-1.7.0-icedtea-devel but java-1.7.0-icedtea-devel
is a package the spec file builds. This is broken.
I am willing to forgive that one, along the same lines that you need a c
compiler to compile gcc.
The second though - cmake and xmlrpc-c
xmlrpc-c BuildRequires cmake
cmake BuildRequires xmlrpc-c-devel
This is definitely broken.
Is Fedora now accepting circular BuildRequires in it's package
repository?
