F13->F14 upgrade + relabel = logins hosed: entrypoint access denied

I just tried to upgrade a F13 system to F14 using preupgrade.
It seemed to go well, but I was getting a lot of AVC denials for NM
and polkitd, and NM wasn't working properly. So I tried a 'touch
/.autorelabel' and reboot.  It seemed to work, but now I can't login. Any
login attempt (via gdm or F2 console) immediately logs me back out again.

/var/log/messages shows, for a console login as root:

SELinux is preventing /bin/login from entrypoint access on the file /bin/bash

and for a GUI-based login:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from entrypoint access on the file /usr/bin/gnome-keyring/daemon
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from entrypoint access on the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession

I can boot single user okay.

I ran 'fixfiles restore' to relabel again and rebooted, and it made no
difference.

By comparing with a similar but un-upgraded (ie F13) working host, I
found that the following are the same on both hosts:

# ls -lZ /bin/login
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:login_exec_t:s0 /bin/login

# ls -lZ /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t:s0 /bin/bash

Policy is the same apart from changes in ethereal and spamd:

# sesearch --allow --neverallow --auditallow --dontaudit --type \
    --role_allow --role_trans --range_trans \
    | sort | egrep -v'ethereal|spam[cd]'

# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy version:                 24
Policy from config file:        targeted

While the two systems give the following:

# rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.7.19-101.fc13.noarch # F13 host
selinux-policy-3.9.7-40.fc14.noarch   # F14 borked host

At this point I've exhausted my meager understanding of selinux.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
