The only difference in rpm-5.3 related ro your issue
is running dbconvert.sh in %posttrans.

The whole idea of converting an *active* rpmdb *automagically*
is _INSANE_. There are far far too many error cases for any
dbconvert.sh script to _GUARANTEE_ success _ALWAYS_.

Everything is _EXACTLY_ as has always been implemented with
rpm and chroot(2). There are no changes:
        A script/executable invoked while installing with rpm -r
        can escape a chroot and do whatever it wishes.
