It would be good if this was changed, even if only when doing --justdb. Things like the rpmdb package could then be build as a user.

I do have permissions for the current root; I just created it! Also,
rpm2cpio setup-2.5.25-1.noarch.rpm | (cd /var/tmp/root; cpio -idvmu)
works just fine.
rpm version 4.2-1
