Angry rpm %_topdir - who broke the -?

rpm %_topdir is now "broken"...or, should I say, irritating...

on opensuse 11.1 with rpm-4.4.2.3...

rpmbuild --define _topdir/any-thing/with/a-path --eval '%_topdir'
/any_thing/with/a_path

why is '-' now changed to '_'? this fubars our ant packaging...

on opensuse 11.0 with rpm-4.4.2 or SLES10 and/or older rpm...
rpmbuild --define _topdir/any-thing/with/a-path --eval '%_topdir'
/any-thing/with/a-path

that's the behavior I expect...

ant auto-magically [probably in preparation for rpm-4.6 where they THROW OUT buildroot usage in specfiles...] redefines topdir.

anyone know if this is a "transient" bug which will disappear?? it seems to be deeply rooted in rpmlib...

any help would be appreciated...

not looking forward to editing hundreds of buildfiles due to...umm...irritating changes...

-JB
