No problem. I am using refpolicy from tresys tree and I have applied my
test patch to introduce a new keyword of "tunable" and change
tunable_policy() to use this tunable keyword rather than the current
"bool" keyword. Since your number of booleans has jumped from 193 down
to 4, you must have applied this patch correctly :-)
Since most tunables declared by tunable_policy() would default to false
and most of these tunable_policy() just has one if branch, then in
practice none rules would ever be expanded and written to raw policy for
them, that's why I have witnessed a significant drop from 6M to 3.22M.
So I could only guess in Fedora policy perhaps most tunables default to
true, or many tunable conditionals have two branches, then the logically
true branch would be expanded as normal. By whatever, the size of
policy.X would decrease when all disabled branch of rules are discarded.

Sorry I have no idea what this error is. There is no "allow $1
ping_t/traceroute_t:process ..." rules in these two interface in tresys
refpolicy, but after added them exactly as yours above still no error
happens on my side.
Or could you pass me your patch to netutils.if after you've adopted my
original patch manually?
Thanks,
Harry
