To be honest, you're fighting SELinux. Stop it. Accept a /home directory
or turn off SELinux.

Yes, you can fix it. But each time you have a relabel, SELinux will
complain.

The only other really viable policy is to patch SELinux policies each
time they come out. At the end of that, you'll know more about them than
most Red hat employees (and a lot more than I do!)
