I'm betting that a %post-install script creates a symlink. Perhaps a command like "rpm -q --scripts pkg.name.rpm" (if memory serves) will tell you what you want to know? You're looking for a command that creates a symlink. It's been awhile since I was intimate with RPM, but symlinks created by a post-install script aren't considered (or weren't at one time) as part of the RPM, although a properly-crafted remove script (executed when you "rpm -e pkg.name.rpm") will remove symlinks created when the RPM was installed.
That's it. It is a symlink (no doubt created by a script as you said). Still seems like an erroneous result to say it belongs to no package when in fact it certainly does. Being able to figure out who/what installed a particular file is a basic package management feature, IMHO.
