I wish I knew more about it, but the base of it looks like a feature,
i.e. creation of all paths in the %files section.

I've noticed that umask is applied although the double-verbose output
says "perms 0755". With umask 077, /usr/lib64 and all its subdirs are
chmod 0700 here. So, that's a different bug.
