I've not seen that happen before.  Can you checked if an 
acl-...armv7a-vfp-neon.rpm was generated and RPM is simply not using it, or was 
it never generated?

As another user mentioned, it is possible for a package to say it wants a 
specific arch type, but if it did -- it should be consistent between packaging 
systems.
