The problem is that the various compressed filesystems don't actually support xattrs which is required for setting up the SELinux file contexts.
If I were intent on using SELinux, I would ask this question-
once you get kadischi to have a specifiable read-only filesystem type (i.e. zisofs or squashfs or ...), would there be any problem with doing a (possibly clooped) ext2(/3) fs as an option.
I vaguely have a memory of raw ext[23] on an iso not working for some reason. But it's a hazy memory from long ago. You're welcome to check. If it does, that's one option. Although adding xattr support for a filesystem _isn't_ that difficult.
Though how about tmpfs? Does it support xattrs?
tmpfs supports xattrs -- that support was added when we went to using udev with tmpfs for /dev
