Sorry people, I've just found a likely reference in Bugzilla.
Please ignore the stuff below for now...

> copy of root. This all basically works, except that restore moans about a bunch

> /var/cache/fontconfig/xxxxx: EA set.security.selinux.system_u:object_r:fonts_cache_t:s0 failed: Invalid argument

> The disk-based system originally had selinux disabled, and when I tried the dump
> of that, I got thousands of restore errors. I then booted up the disk-based system,
> set selinux to permissive and let it relabel the files. After that, restore only
> produced the current bunch of errors. selinux on the live system runs in enforcing/targeted,
> but the problem still occurs if I set it to permissive/targeted (by editing /etc/selinux/config
> as there is no option for this in the Administration menu on the live system)
