what if someone distributes a malicious elf/a.out binary as
foo-1.5-2.i386.rpm the user will open the file with gmc/nautilus and
instead of telling the user "no viewer capable of opening this file" (or
whatever it says when someone runs a binary w/o the execute bit) it will
set the execute bit and run the file. boom!

RPMs should be treated by the Install view. You click the RPM, it'll
start installing.
On this fake RPM, Install view would bitch, "Danger, Will Robinson! Bad
RPM!", it won't be installed and you'll be safe.
