Jeff Johnson dismissed this in bug 185862 stating:

  "This is a packaging, not an rpm problem. The value of %{_sharedstatedir}
   has nothing whatsoever with FHS or where emacs chooses to put files.

   Fix yer bleeping packages however you want."

See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185862

I will proceed to hardcode a different sharedstatedir with 
%configure --with-sharedstatedir=/var/...
and fix "my bleeding package" instead :-)
