This was only a problem on disk images before dm-3.1-15. As of this disk iamge, everything is built cleanly in RPM format, and there should be no issues with the RPM database. If you have an older disk image we urge you to upgrade. The internal RPM data format has changed a few times, unfortunately. This generally makes it impossible to install newer RPM packages on an older system. The general remedy is to upgrade the RPM package (you must do this by fetching a tarball and compiling it).
