This isn't a bug, you're just not installing the right packages :) You need to install kernel-core-4.8.0-0.rc2.git1.1.fc26.x86_64.rpm and kernel-modules-4.8.0-0.rc2.git1.1.fc26.x86_64.rpm as well as kernel-4.8.0-0.rc2.git1.1.fc26.x86_64.rpm . If you look at the provides of the kernel-core and kernel-modules packages you'll see they actually provide 'kernel-core-uname-r' and 'kernel-modules-uname-r'.
