Yes, this is actually even documented, from rpm(8):
rpm --setugids PACKAGE_NAME
sets user/group ownership of files in the given package. This
command can change permissions and capabilities of files in that
package. In most cases it is better to use --restore instead.
rpm --setcaps PACKAGE_NAME
sets capabilities of files in the given package. Consider using
--restore instead.
rpm --restore PACKAGE_NAME
The option restores owner, group, permissions and capabilities
of files in the given package.
Options --setperms, --setugids, --setcaps and
--restore are mutually exclusive.
In other words, use --restore instead.
--setugids is rather an unfortunate demo of popt alias capabilities (search '--setugids' from /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt*) that we can't fix than a genuinely useful feature...
