This is correct, but it's not done automatically, because /home is
entirely skipped when changing the contexts after a policy upgrade.

Personally, I think this is a major problem, but Daniel Walsh points out
that (1) automatic restorecon on /home presents a security risk of
mislabeled files ( like gpg keys and such in the wrong place), and (2)
automatic restorecon on /home might take a very long time. 

I think if we are to introduce more fine-grained labeling of "$HOME" in
the future (which we should), this problem needs to be solved somehow.
