I think that's reasonable. It's definitely an edge case. In the standard
installation process, sa-update must complete successfully in order for
SpamAssassin to run, so it's unlikely to come up there.

I can avoid this in the distro package by making the installation process look
more like an offline installation with respect to the default ruleset. That is,
I'd install the bundled rules using sa-update as documented in the offline
variant of "Installing Rules" in the INSTALL doc.  This will ensure a
successful sa-update run even if the cached rules are in use.
