Let me guess at your problem. And this is really a guess probably not in any way close to the real issue but I can't resist. Are you creating new directories with these rpms but those directories would not otherwise be created by anything and not otherwise owned by any rpm package? Doesn't newish rpm create an implicit require on a package to own the parent directory? By adding %dir you are now explicitly owning the directory itself. Its parent is probably already owned and so everything works. Personally I can't think of a packaging where I am using %dir because in the buildroot I want it to package up all of the files in the directory too. The %dir while useful for exactly that does not to me seem something to be seen in every specfile because mostly you would want both the directory and the contents of the directory. So probably your case would also be solved by packaging the directory and the contents all at one line. Just a wild guess...
