Is it supposed to be possible to run grub-install from the LiveCD with SELinux on?

If you do that, and if you are using selinux, then after such move
you have to run 'fixfiles' on target directories.

Security is always PITA and a bunch of tradeoffs.  If some
particular tradeoffs are right for you it is only for you to tell.
If you want avoid hassles just for an installation you can always
run with 'selinux=0' and do 'fixfiles' globally once you are done
and you plan to turn on selinux.
