IMO, from FE's POV, this whole issue boils down to a bug in RPM. /usr/com is definitely wrong.
I have filed this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185862
IMO, using /var as "sharedstatedir" would probably work in 99% of all cases, but I thinks will only a matter of time until you'd find a clash between "localstatedir" and "sharedstatedir", so I'd be leaning for /var/com or similar.
I actually suggested just /var. It will work with the only package we have that use $sharedstatedir and I do not expect it to become popular.
