The work around is to run livecd-creator with the system in permissive mode.
I have setenforce commands in the scripts I use to build live images.
There will still be AVCs in the logs, but the resulting images should be
OK.

It looks like there is also an issue with umount trying to update /etc/mtab.
That one looks normal. Why /selinux/enforce is getting mislabelled is a
separate question that I don't see an obvious answer to.
