This was indeed the issue, Alan. Saurabh Vyas replied to my mail and pointed this out to me. For now, I've removed the delivery of /usr/src/rpm for the IPS delivered rpm5 build, and everything is working fine now (I finished testing a minute ago!) :) I've forgotten my secret passwords for my opensolaris.org account, so I couldn't sign up on ips-discuss and ask there.
