The problem is that the various compressed filesystems don't actually support xattrs which is required for setting up the SELinux file contexts.

Ok. In this case, there isn't much anyone can do but send patches to the upstream maintenance and wait. That or patch Fedora Core tools to support these, and send upstream also. As I stated I could predispose the "just setting contexts" wasn't the issue, since this can be done before hand and (now that you've mentioned it) since RPM already knows about contexts, this couldn't be the issue. (Contexts can't be changed on a read-only file, is what I was basing my understanding of that item on.)
Just for reference, I will edit the Kadischi wiki to make this item clearer. It is there for a reminder I'd imagine, but it can be clear. Thanks.
