Hmmm... this is interesting. Is this really Gentoo 1.12.0 or is it a
Gentoo from a different time area (perhaps an older one)? I ask because
for Gentoo there is usually no real fixed versioning and I guess our
Gentoo (which was installed just 4 weeks ago) might be different to
yours and hence cause this subtle problem.

What is also interesting is that it is just the .bs files which RPM
complains about. Those files are usually ZERO bytes in length or not
installed at all. Perhaps it's just a bug in RPM's MD5 calculation
approach when the input is an empty string.
But AFAIK, those "bootstrap" files in Perl are not essential at all
under Linux, so you can just ignore this subtle bug in RPM. Do not worry
about it...
