It's a bug in rpmbuild's file classification rules, should be fixed in

While this obviously isn't fault of tecnoballz, a rebuild is needed to
correct the dependencies.

Is there likely to be a set of rpms built with the faulty rpm that will
need rebuilding? Any way to know which ones?
Yes: dependencies of ELF binaries with suid and/or sgid bit haven't been
collected at all in rpm >= 4.9.x (ie Fedora >= 15) due to the overly
strict file attribute ELF rule. For rawhide this was fixed at beginning
of December, for F15/16 an update was planned but somehow didn't get
done until this week.
Given how long it took for anybody to notice, suid/sgid binaries seem to
be few and far between these days... I also suspect many/most affected
packages end up depending on those missed libraries directly from other
binaries/libraries or indirectly through other dependencies anyway, so
the completely missing dependencies (on package-level) probably aren't
that many in practise.
