You cannot use these packages for dependency testing because they are
not installable without --no-deps.  Testing spec files with different
dependency specifications (without full rebuilds) is a valid use case
for --short-circuit -bb, I think.  Carlos would have benefited from this
recently for glibc (where build times are substantial)

I think the reason is not valid.  If you build a package locally against
a potentially unclean build environment, that produces equally dodgy
packages, and you can't tell from the RPMs, either.
