I had a chance to take another look at this this morning.
In semanage (seobject.py, specifically), the list of file contexts being
retrieved via semanage_fcontext_list is in the correct order. However,
it is transfered to a dictionary and printed out by iterating over the
keys of the dictionary.
Changing this will allow semanage to report the file contexts in the
original order.

Ok I updated policycoreutils to use a list instead of a dictionary so
the order is maintained.
