After fixing up the system for SELinux content, the rpm package for 
selinux policy should revise the content with its %post and %pre 
scriptlets. I believe the program is called restorecon which is ran when 
the policy is updated.

If this happens to you in the future, you might need to file a bug 
report or comment on the SELinux list about the problem.

If it related only to the pam dependent rpms as was commented about in 
this thread, then the problem is already being addressed and hopefully 
resolved.
