Happens due to a bug in rpm[1]. That's why, an 'initpre' script must be
executed which worksarounds this issue. The common redhat-style 'initpre'
script should be fine for RH clones, so you should add a symlink like

| /etc/vservers/.distributions/initpre -> /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/redhat/initpre

I will add more diagnostics to warn the user about this...

Nevertheless, as yum does not do proper errorhandling this bug will be
ignored and vserver should be built.
