What was the package being checked? If it's not in Fedora, could you post an URL to it and possibly upload it somewhere for testing?
Created attachment 831260 [details] The problematic rpm file. I can imagine that, the problem is the special character "ö". Or can't rpm deal with latin1 characters?
rpmlint didn't do the right thing with non-ASCII chars in package names. Fixed upstream: http://sf.net/p/rpmlint/code/ci/9844a91/
