I had a very quick look at the code.
It seems to do:

  processBinaryFiles
    processPackageFiles
      genCpioListAndHeader
        RemovePathSuffixes
    rpmfcGenerateDepends

when perhaps it might do:

  processBinaryFiles
    rpmfcGenerateContentDepends
    processPackageFiles
      genCpioListAndHeader
        RemovePathSuffixes
    rpmfcGeneratePathDepends

I should also note that I was able to work around the issue
in my package, using %global _use_internal_dependency_generator 0,
and in my custom require script, keying on a file specific
to the sub-package with RemovePathPostfixes, and adding back
the suffixes, before passing to rpmdeps.

cheers,
Pádraig.
