Hmmmmm well maybe a VM which validated the install from scratch on fedora would be cool.  There are scripts to do this (I.e. Justin's article on building from source), which already exist.  

Versioning them in a git repo could make the documentation "self-healing".

There is one - tests/basic/rpm.t which is run against every commit. However it only guarantees a that an RPM can be built on a machine which is similar to the build server itself.

There should be a test that confirms that the build actually produces rpms :)

That would have caught this bug.
