Upon investigation this appears to be a SELinux policy issue actually, 
I see the following in dmesg after attempting to start HAL:

audit(1170872559.797:8): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=4679
comm="hald-generate-f" name="hald" dev=dm-3 ino=4653249
scontext=user_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0
tclass=dir

However the policy relabeling is a tad problematic as seen in #227702
