I strace'd semodule & it was blocking on a write() call to a pipe connected to the parent process. So I killed semodule, and now the parent (the /bin/sh process for the %post script) blocked on writing to its parent (yum). So I killed that too, and now yum blocked writing too. Finally I Ctrl-C'd yum, and it spewed a bunch of warning messages to stderr, which clearly came from semodule. So, two issues - semodule should redirect all its output to /dev/null in the %post script, and yum should make sure it consumes both stdout/err from any scripts it runs so they don't block. Unfortunately, I lost the strace logs before I could file a BZ report and my other machines are fine with the update.
