It probably has the wrong permissions straight out of the tarball, and 
is just copied into place at install-time.

I agree. rpmlint normally ignores dangling symlinks for .so files if 
their immediate parent directory is called "lib" or "lib64"; hence you 
get the errors for files in /usr/lib/atlas but not for ones in /usr/lib.
