Those commands are not POISXly correct:

	You have --qf options after the argument "rpm".

Rearrange the CLI invocation:

$ rpm -q --qf '/%{N}\n' rpm
/rpm
$ rpm -q --qf '%{N}\n' rpm
rpm
[$ rpm -q --qf '/usr/share/doc/%{N}\n' rpm
/usr/share/doc/rpm
$ rpm -q --qf '/%{N}\n' rpm
/rpm
$ rpm -q --qf 'lol%{N}\n' rpm
lolrpm

I'll look at a better fix in popt with aliases in a moment. Don't
expect a patch however.
