Sounds like the -l option to audit2allow isn't working correctly, so
that instead of only processing audit messages since the last policy
reload, you are still processing the audit messages from when that
policy module was installed, and unsurprisingly it cannot map those
contexts since you removed the module.  That would be a bug in
audit2allow/sepolgen.

Workaround would be to use ausearch to select the desired range of
messsages specifically, e.g.
/sbin/ausearch -m AVC -ts today | audit2allow
