results of running 'rpm -V <package>' for packages from the latest yum transaction

Description of problem:

Applying 20090308 rawhide updates I got:
...
  Cleanup        : policycoreutils                                        39/48

TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str

It turned out that yum already removed libgcc-4.4.0-0.22.x86_64 but despite that yum log file says "Mar 08 16:35:53 Updated: libgcc-4.4.0-0.23.x86_64" those files were not there and the next invocation of yum, and rpm, ended up with:

   libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After fixing that, by rebooting to something else and using rpm2cpio there
to put libraries in place, I tried 'yum-complete-transaction'.  That erased
a bunch of packages from a missing "cleanup".  One remaining issue - none
of freshly installed packages, with an exception of libgcc-4.4.0-0.23.x86_64 which I had to fix beforehand in order to proceed, passed 'rpm -V ...' test. Results of such attempt are attached.

Is this caused by a yum failure as above or the second part is another issue related to bug 489235?
   
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.21-12.fc11.noarch

How reproducible:
I do not know yet.  It is somewhat difficult to repeat without seriously messing the whole system.
