Yes. That's what it has always been doing, which doesn't make it right (hence the ticket I linked). But changing is hard because loops are *everywhere* in distros, and often they can be harmlessly resolved with the aid of Requires(pre) and the like. But once you have two or more packages insisting on *pre* then it's a game over and rpm should really bail out.
