Building the reproducer spec with rpm 4.4.x I get this:
```
[pmatilai at sopuli zz]$ rpm2cpio ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/hardsymlinks-1.0-0.x86_64.rpm |cpio -idv
./usr/share/a
./usr/share/b
cpio: warning: skipped 124 bytes of junk
1 block
```
Ie rpm produced a garbage archive which cpio cannot handle, classifies as "broken" in my books.  Built with modern rpm the produced archive is sane and so is the installation.

Yes, rpm doesn't handle broken archives gracefully, it's on the todo along with million other things, been since forever.
