I've tested this issue today and rebuilt rpm in a clean chroot. The path to bzip2 was absolutly correct in the macro file. I can only reproduce the issue when building on my original system.. then the path to bzip2 is /usr/bin/bzip2 as you describe.
I'll try to figure out now why there is a difference between my system and the clean chroot (both sid). Greetings Patrick -- .''`.
