Thanks, this is the offending commit:

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/88989572fff1f31e0c4f972a6895585e4742ef4b

Looks like they added sophisticated in-place processing/rewriting of the 
actual binary (that is not possible to switch off). And it fails in case 
of grub modules.

We, on the other hand, only need to extract the list of debug source 
code files. Any hint on how to do that without the use of rpm/debugedit? 
Perhaps something from binutils/elfutils?
