from a few trusted machines, I get the output below from 'rpm -Va | grep -e libexec -e '/bin/'.
Also, how do rpm -V and prelink interact? Are the binaries in an rpm already prelinked?
I don't believe so, but I've never researched what they do upstream. It seems logistically difficult to build and prelink a binary while making a RPM from a gut instinct point of view.
I think your list is, as you guess, a set of victims that don't fit due to a prelink. I usually only use that command on server systems and don't see a lot of those entries.

It was my understanding that rpm was prelink aware. I know things like tripwire are not prelink aware and will report changes if you initialize its database prior to prelink running.
