Can you run:
	/usr/sbin/sestatus -v | grep -v active
and show the results?

Offhand, I would have assumed that the copy simply failed to preserve
the security.selinux attributes, but you said that you tried relabeling
(/sbin/fixfiles relabel) and presumably rebooted afterwards.  Or perhaps
you just touched /.autorelabel and rebooted?  Maybe that isn't working
properly?  Try relabeling explicitly.
