brackets are glob characters like *.  RPM actually tries to use them as 
glob charracters if I understand correctly.  There is a bugzilla report
about the issue of rpm not allowing some escape of these glob characters,
but if I recall corectly it wt was marked as WONTFIX.
I can understand why as creating file names with glob characters (or 
metacharacters) in general is a bad idea.
