If fixfiles doesn't fix that labeling problem on /etc, do you have a user defined whose home directory is in /etc/username? I'm not sure if the genhomedircon that fixed this situation made it into FC3 yet. If you do have a user with a homedirectory in /etc/username, fix your file_contexts so that /etc is not labeled wrong and try fixfiles again.....
