I encountered some of the same errors as Arthur as well as the issues 
mentioned in the link that D. D. Brierton posted.  In my case, my 
'mysql' user is still around and mysql is still on the system.  MySQL 
wasn't running at the time I took the 1.17.30-3.13 update earlier this 
evening....and the errors didn't cause a kernel panic for me.

I _did_ however encounter the "syntax errors" in a few processes before 
taking the .13 update; in fact I was looking for this update to be the 
one that fixed the prior errors (no joy there).  So if something went 
awry, it might have been coming for a little while before the latest update.

The reinstallation and /.autorelabel fix posted earlier fixed everything 
for me.  Now I can also see that the 1.17.30.3-9 version is available 
via the RHN Alert Notification tool.  Someone worked fast!

Appreciate the quick response, albeit perhaps not quick enough for 
everyone.  Erik
