Paul,

Thanks for the detail.  Can you verify on 6.6 (or previous) that 
installing the 6.6 (non-patched) version of redhat-rpm-config also 
causes the defaults to be SL-5 incompatible?  There are several relevant 
bugzillas for the redhat-rpm-config 'security' update, but probably the 
most relevant one is 1122100 ( direct link 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122100 ).  This is upstream 
of SL, and apparently it is intentional, and so you'll need to file a 
bugzilla with redhat (or continue use the workaround you already found).
