rpmbuild --rebuild works fine here (just tried it using rawhide 
ed-0.2-35.i386.rpm), under  FC2 with MH's ~/rpmbuild structure & macros.  But 
even if it didn't work for me, personally I don't find it a pita to do

  rpm -i foo-1.0-1.src.rpm
  cd ~/rpmbuild/foo-1.0
  rpmbuild -ba foo.spec

compared to

  rpmbuild --rebuild foo-1.0-1.src.rpm

Pretty minor extra typing in my typical workday. :)
