We lived with this "bug" for years. There is no reason to fix this bug
in stable release just to cause other bugs. And it was obvious it would
broke at least build of Ruby and now it is obvious it did broke not just
Ruby. It would be enough to have to solve this issues in Rawhide.

Also, (not) pulling -devel package into build root might result in some
subtle bugs such as some part of package functionality disabled based on
build configuration, which might went unnoticed, until the package is
released. This is irresponsible.
