The only thing that comes to mind is, traditional cpio is byte sex
dependent.  Some are big endian, some are little endian, and some are
created with a canonical/portable byte order.  It appears that GNU cpio is
always portable in its output, but the issue remains back there in history
and could be surfacing in modern rpm.

This man page, although for Windows, describes it reasonably well:
