As the package installs cleanly if installed after rebooting into the installed
system, I suspect "DURING_INSTALL" is not being set by the installer anymore.

$ rpm -q --scripts microcode shows
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ -z "$DURING_INSTALL" ] ; then
     /usr/bin/dracut -f
fi

$DURING_INSTALL is only set in the package install step, not in the package update step. And this is correct - the update step occurs after the system has been configured and the initial RAM disk has been created. If we set $DURING_INSTALL during the update step, then the initial RAM disk wouldn't get updated.

I think this needs to be fixed in the microcode package postinstall scriptlet.

Something like this should work:

if [ -z "$DURING_INSTALL" ] ; then
  kernel=$(uname -r)
  if [ -d /usr/lib/modules/$kernel ] ; then
    # rebuild initrd for currently running kernel
    /usr/bin/dracut -f
  else
    # rebuild initrd for most recently installed kernel
    kernel=$(ls -1t /usr/lib/modules | head -1)
    /usr/bin/dracut -f /boot/initrd-$kernel.img $kernel
  fi
fi
