Thanks for report... 

However - that's no-win thing. .rpmnew files from several potentially dangerous files are removed in %post lua scriptlet - as one user complained that his admin used those .rpmnew files to replace original (as he usually does when he doesn't know about any change in that particular config file done by him manually) - which caused loss of the user accounts. Request for some nowarn flag for config files was done in rpm.org page (see http://rpm.org/ticket/6 ), so far no action there (except it was accepted by rpm maintainers). 

Closing that bugzilla WONTFIX as I don't have any chance to resolve the issue properly. Once it will be resolved in rpm, I'll do the change in setup package.
