Quite possibly, I don't know.

In which case, if such a bug does exist and is affecting you, I would 
place the script within %postun of each package that needs it rather 
than calling the script as a file that might have already been removed. 
This is better than simply testing the script exists before running it 
as if it doesn't then it doesn't get run and presumably that is not the 
desired outcome. There are many ways of working around such a bug.
