I came across the dependency cycle while upgrading perl to 5.10, which involves
rebuilding the perl RPM and all the modules.  I expect you will hit the same
thing when you go to 5.10, unless you have some special magic.

In general it seems like a good thing to make sure you don't already need a
package installed in order to build that package.  It's unavoidable for some
essential things like gcc or the shell, but here it's easily avoidable.  There
is no ill effect from removing the BuildRequires line.  So I think it's worth
fixing even if technically you do not consider circular deps to be a bug.
