Do you get the same error when you don't use --releocate? What version of rpm are you using and on which distro? What did you type to initially install the first package? Ultimately, I have never seen this type of failure in rpm. "a" should have been removed provided both packages shared the same name. If its a "supported" version of rpm either via Fedora or RedHat you should file a bugzilla report at: bugzilla.redhat.com Be sure to at least include info on all the questions I asked (I would suggest a tiny test script and your tiny spec files be attached, so that it is easy to reproduce).
