quick fix:
# echo '%_tmppath      /tmp' >> /etc/vservers/<guest>/apps/pkgmgmt/base/rpm/etc/macros

the problem is that %() macros are expanded with system(2),

but that call is not overloaded by rpm-fake.so, which should unset LD_PRELOAD variable.
currently rpm-fake.so overloads just execv()/rpm_execcon().
