After looking at the output of strace, I think this is due to the bug of
runuser program in coreutils, used by daemon() in initscripts:

$ su
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
# runuser -s /bin/bash nobody
runuser: incorrect password

Actually it seems that coreutils-8.7-runuser.patch was recently added to
coreutils-8.7-1.fc15.
