/proc/$PID/environ and /proc/$PID/cmdline

Hi!
	Is that normal, that some processes can have strange values in
/proc/$PID/environ and /proc/$PID/cmdline files? Here's the example:

[y4kk0@X ~]$ cat /proc/2089/environ
kk0/klaunchervHCnpc.slave-socket
/tmp/ksocket-y4kk0/kdesktopytHSwa.slave-socket[y4kk0@X ~]$
[y4kk0@X ~]$ cat /proc/2089/cmdline
kio_file [kdeinit] file /tmp/ksocket-y4kk0/klaunchervHCnpc.slave-socket
/tmp/ksocket-y4kk0/kdesktopytHSwa.slav
e-socket[y4kk0@X ~]$
[y4kk0@X ~]$ uname -r
2.6.17-1.2647.fc6
[y4kk0@X ~]$ ps aux | grep 2089
y4kk0     2089  0.0  0.9  28060  4844 ?        S    22:14   0:00
kio_file [kdeinit] file /tmp/ksocket-y4kk0/kl
aunchervHCnpc.slave-socket /tmp/ksocket-y4kk0/kdesktopytHSwa.slave-socket
y4kk0     2524  0.0  0.1   3908   756 pts/5    S+   22:24   0:00 grep 2089
[y4kk0@X ~]$

I was told that this is a Fedora's kernel bug. Is that true?

One more thing: I noticed that SELinux blocks access [1] to some files in /proc directory. Some utilities does not know how to handle this situation. For instance `ls -l /proc` run as root shows:

[snip]
-rw-r--r--  1 root      root              0 wrz 16 22:14 mtrr

-r--r--r--  1 root      root              0 wrz 16 22:26 slab_allocators
[snip]

Is that a known problem or should I open a bug report?

[1] In permissive mode everything works fine:

[root@X ~]# LANG=C ls -l /proc/413
