I'll send a reply to my own message hoping it'll help others who browse the list's archives. [ Thanks Paul Nasrat and Jeff Johnson for clearing this out on IRC. ] The issue I ecountered is related to the fact that the packages are not sorted before uninstalling. This way a package might be removed even if some other package's scripts (from the same transaction) depend on it. Jeff stated that during rpm development "the erasures have always been lower priority" so no ETA on the fix was given. However since this problem persists for a few years and no one else encountered it can be considered a "low priority" one. Mihai -- This message was scanned for spam and viruses by BitDefender.
