Hi Kyle,
It seems this DKMS error message was correct in the fact that you didn't have the necessary kernel header files installed. After you installed them the DKMS nvidia package installed successfully. It doesn't seem this is really a bug but rather did the right thing in printing the error notifying you what the issue was.
