That suggests it is being called with the -f (force) flag from
e.g. /sbin/fixfiles.  selinux-policy.spec does a
	fixfiles -C file_contexts.pre restore

fixfiles -C does a diff between the old and new file contexts
configurations and applies restorecon to the result. There is some
serious magic in there, and it is all Dan's fault ;)
