Two questions come up for me:

1. Why were no such errors in the past with 5.0.x and <= 5.1.[7-9]

Dunno. DB_RUNRECOVERY is ultimately a data, not an implementation, issue.

2. What can we do to workaround this problem? Perhaps run
 the "rpm -q" operations in a special RPMDB read-only mode or
 something like this? Perhaps --define '__dbi_private yes'?


There's lots of ways to workaround (but not DB_PRIVATE disabling locks).

Are chroot's involved?

What is being queried?

Do you have a definite reproducer or is the problem just occurring
occaisionally randomly?


Without further information, there's nothing I can do.
