My guess is that:
1. It's dynamically linked (IIRC only statically linked apps were
allowed in rescue).
2. It's dynamically linked to a lib that exists in /usr (and /usr is on
a commonly located on a separate partition, whereas /rescue isn't).
[root@optimus-vm-7 ~]# ldd `which bzip2`
/usr/bin/bzip2:
libbz2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.2 (0x800639000)
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800748000)
