I also ran into this problem a few days ago. I'm guessing it's a bug in 
either distutils or numpy.distutils.

Anyway, you can hack it to work by putting

%_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 1

in your ~/.rpmmacros. More details here:

With that in place, bdist_rpm works on my FC6 machine. rpm -qpl on the 
RPM seems to indicate a "sane" RPM.
