I filed bug 1063503 for the cron issue. In this thread I was more 
interested in why the boolean got turned back off. I know for sure that 
I used the -P option on two systems to work around the cron issue and both 
got changed back to unset. (It might have happened twice on one machine, 
but I am not sure of that.)

I have just tested a reboot and reinstalling (yum reinstall) 
selinux-policy-targeted, but am not seeing cron_userdomain_transition 
change.

I don't have any other easily testable guesses for what happened, so for now 
I'll just keep an eye on it.
