Yes ;-)
Enabling (and starting) that service made it complete.
Interesting. The current state of that service is:
○ rpmdb-migrate.service - RPM database migration to /usr
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpmdb-migrate.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
There are no log entries for this service, but my logs only go back to
around April which is probably too late to see anything.
After starting the service:
Oct 28 13:29:33 systemd[1]: Starting rpmdb-migrate.service - RPM database migration to /usr...

... and the migration has been successful. So at least we know how to
fix this. Although it's quite curious that the service was installed
and supposed to run but didn't.
The idea is that the service is enabled (not sure off hand what is
supposed to do that) but not started, so that it runs when you reboot
and completes the migration as part of the boot.
When it runs it removes /var/lib/rpm/.migratedb which was created
by the rpm scripts and hence prevents the service running on future
boots as it's no longer needed.
