Oh dear oh dear.

If you look into spec file:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/java-1.7.0-openjdk.git/tree/java-1.7.0-openjdk.spec?h=f20#n961

You can see, that the java RPMS are copying those files during update.


Lasttime I have teste dit, it was working fine both update and downgrade. But As you are mntioning 
also callendars and logging, then somethig have to go wrong.

ANyway I should add above files tho the list of copied files


Also I should add check for rpmnew/rpmsave files in cleanup.
