Still no luck:

mkdir /tmp/rpm
rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/rpm
rpm -U --nodeps --justdb --dbpath /tmp/rpm apache-1.3.20-16.i386.rpm
rpm -qa --dbpath /tmp/rpm

The 'rpm -U' command returns with status 1, indicating some sort of error.
Here's what a verbose output looks like:

[matt@dumbledore matt]$ rpm -U -vvv --nodeps --justdb --dbpath /tmp/rpm apache-1.3.20-16.i386.rpm
