That is likely a bug.

I believe the intention is to pass the _rpmfs_magic_path.. that patch can be
made up of other potential dynamic results. If the wrapper is building up
_librpm (something like that), then we can use:
%_rpmfc_magic_path %{_rpmlib}/../../share/magic
Note about is ramblings, not actual code.. ;)
