My understanding is when you are in rescue mode SELinux should be
disabled and no relabeling should take place.  What does happen is the
flag gets set (/.autorelabel).  So theoretically when you reboot the
machine with SELinux enabled, the first thing it will do is make sure
all the labels are correct so SELinux will work properly.   If you see
a system that you boot in rescue mode trying to relabel, then I would
guess this is a bug.
