As far as I can tell, it's actually a problem with the SELinux policy.
There's no /lib/ld-linux.so.2 on the initrd because the new policy
denies ldconfig permission to create the softlink in the tempdir. 

No ld-linux.so.2, no nash. No nash, no boot.

Cracking open the initrd and adding the softlink allows the system to
boot normally. 

You could probably also get around this by rolling back to an older
selinux-policy-targeted and re-running mkinitrd. It's probably easiest
just to wait for a fixed selinux-policy-targeted package, though.
