The problem is that the directory should have type device_t not udev_tdb_t.  
The recent trend has been to label all directories under /dev as device_t.

-file_type_auto_trans(udev_t, device_t, udev_tdb_t, { file dir })
+file_type_auto_trans(udev_t, device_t, udev_tdb_t, file)

If the above change is made to udev.te and the below change is made to udev.fc 
then everything will work well.  This is the easiest and simplest change that 
preserves expected functionality.

-/dev/\.udev\.tdb(/.*)? system_u:object_r:udev_tdb_t
+/dev/\.udev\.tdb/.* -- system_u:object_r:udev_tdb_t

I assume that the file names in directory /dev/.udev.tdb don't give anything 
away - otherwise the directory surely wouldn't have mode 0755...
