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_at_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)
