Yes :-)

You're system will boot up using the old selinux, everything *should* work.
The only difference is that anything new will get the "old" tags on it. When
you then update to the unborked version, that should relabel for you (failing
that /sbin/fixfiles will do the job). It's a painless process tbh.

It's hard to know. However as switching off selinux fixes the problem, it's
not a massive jump to say that selinux was the problem in the first place -
you could just have a corrupt download somewhere.
