I'm not sure whether to remove the 'solved' from the subject line,
since we seem to be back to problem solving. 

I followed your suggestion and reinstated dhcpd protection in
SELinux, and now I'm back to the error message when I restart
dhcpd:
"Can't open lease database /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases: Permission
denied -- check for failed database rewrite attempt!"
