I believe the complete spec for %defattr is:

"%defattr" "(" fileperms ["," user-owner ["," group-owner [","
dirperms] ] ] ")"

with "-" in {file,dir}perms meaning no change from what it already has.

Yup.

If something, rpmlint should check for unattributed files: ones that aren't covered by %defattr or file-specific %attr. Missing %defattr isn't an error, totally unattributed files are (or should be treated as such, perhaps on rpmbuild level) because the outcome then relies on who happens to build the package.
