This appears to be another instance of problem coming from rebuilding
i386 and x86_64 packages on different dates - these man pages contain
the build date:
--- c2ph.1.i386 2008-06-15 13:31:46.000000000 +0200

RPM's multilib handling tells it to ignore files that would conflict
between i386 and x86_64 RPMs, but which are in fact identical - such as
man pages. However, if these differ, RPM will complain and fall over.
We have occasionally seen instances of this issue in the past with SL4
as well. No idea how T.U.V. manages to avoid these.
Only solution I know of is to rebuild both RPMs (on the same day). And
gently file upstream bugs, putting the compile date into a man page is
really icky...

We had our x86_64 el5_2 queue misconfigured and didn't notice it until the next
day.
I believe I am going to track down whoever is writing the man pages at the
RedHat Summit and kindly ask them "what were you thinking" while smacking them
upside the head.
Well ... at least that's what I will do in my dreams :)
I'll get them fixed, they should go out today with the openoffice updates.
