I've been thinking of adding a RPMTAG_INSTALLSTATUS or such which would 
carry bits of information about the package's status such as were there 
scriptlet failures during the install. This would nicely fall into that 
category: instead of a needing yet another tag, it would be just another 
bit in RPMTAG_INSTALLSTATUS.
