It seems that you never got a reply to this one.

This is something that still needs a good solution.  We don't want initrc_t to 
be able to do such things in the strict policy, so udev seems to be the best 
way of doing it.  Maybe getting it added to /sbin/start_udev would be the 
best solution?  start_udev already creates a bunch of other device nodes that 
are too inconvenient to do in other ways.

Of course due to the usual shell script issues udev_t isn't safe from 
initrc_t.  But it's a start at isolating it, we can improve later.

That one should have been fixed quite some time ago, before your message was 
posted.  Either you hadn't updated to all the latest packages or there is a 
corner case we missed.  In either case let me know if it still happens with 
the latest rawhide.
