Can you run:
/usr/sbin/sestatus -v | grep -v active
and show the results?
Offhand, I would have assumed that the copy simply failed to preserve
the security.selinux attributes, but you said that you tried relabeling
(/sbin/fixfiles relabel) and presumably rebooted afterwards. Or perhaps
you just touched /.autorelabel and rebooted? Maybe that isn't working
properly? Try relabeling explicitly.
