When a %post scriptlet runs, is it guaranteed that the Requires:

(I'm interested in plain Requires, not Requires(post) etc.)
Requires and Requires(post) are equal in ordering except for
loop-breaking purposes. When no loops are present, both guarantee the
files are there. When dependency loops are involved rpm makes an
educated guess to cut it but obviously there can be no absolute guarantee.
Has the behavior changed since RPM 4.8?
The basic rules above have stayed the same since rpm 4.0 days. 4.8 had a
major ordering rewrite to better handle loops, since then some corner
case bugs have been fixed, but no major rule changes. What does change
constantly is the package set and the loops within it.
