We've got a scratch directory; in it, any user can write. I've gotten
complaints of unlabled, and I found and set them to default_t.

Here's the question: if I use semanage to set one of the user
subdirectories to, say, default_t, and they try to copy a file that
already has a valid context, would that context be changed to default_t,
or would it retain its existing context?

If it is shared by users I would label it something like user_home_t.

cp command adopts the label of the destination parent directory or file
(Most of the time).

mv command maintains the label of the source.
But if, after this, I do a restorecon, or fixfiles, or autorelabel, will
that change all of them?

You can verify it using matchpathcon. Basically if you use "semanage", you add permanent labeling.
