FWIW, it works if you add adding these lines to
/etc/security/selinux/src/policy/file_contexts/program/apache.fc:

/var/www/manual(/.*)?             system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t
/var/www/error(/.*)?             system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t

then:

make -C /etc/security/selinux/src/policy
/sbin/fixfiles relabel

Presumably something like that sort of change can make it into
the vext update of policy.
