To give a bit more context:

Globs with braces have not been supported in rpm's %files section ever.

But https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728959 caused all kind
of docs file being added to the package and files not being properly
checked. As a result such constructs as
imagick-3.1.2/{CREDITS,TODO,INSTALL} - which are not at all supported -
did not result in an error.

As we fixed that bug rpm spits out an error - quite correctly. But
actually there is no good reason to not support braces in the globs,
especially as it is just one flag to set internally. So we added the
support and the package should now build.

But still packages with broken doc entries may refuse to build. Please
fix them if you encounter such errors. This is one of the many cases
were making rpm do the right thing and do the proper checks breaks
broken packages.
