Not sure exactly what Dag meant by that one (I think he suggested/added 
that note), but one issue I'm tracking is here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463777

The other related issue is a missing Requires on the module-init-tools 
that provides /sbin/weak-modules for binutils that provides /usr/bin/nm 
so a situation can arise where /sbin/weak-modules calls /usr/bin/nm 
which isn't installed.

We could work around that by manually adding a Requires for binutils to 
every package, but that's just ugly and it should really be fixed 
upstream :)

The missing Requires appears to have been fixed in the rhel-5.4beta in 
module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.53.el5
