Yes, rpm does not currently handle concurrent db rebuild and other operations correctly, this would be an old, old bug.
However database rebuild is a maintenance/repair operation that you're only supposed to need once in every blue moon, not something that is run as a part of daily operations. Yes, the locking should prevent it, but if you're rebuilding the database concurrently with other operations then you're also doing something wrong.
