I think it is not just with the -l option as i had similar output today
by using plain ausearch -m avc -ts recent | audit2allow:

libsepol.context_from_record: invalid security context:
"staff_u:staff_r:mozilla_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023"
libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure
libsepol.context_from_string: could not create context structure
libsepol.sepol_context_to_sid: could not convert
staff_u:staff_r:mozilla_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 to sid
libsepol.context_from_record: invalid security context:
"staff_u:staff_r:mozilla_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023"
