I don't think this is a matchpathcon error only as the fc applied on
disk by restorecon are matching the one returned by matchpathcon.

I remember during the discussion on IRC that somebody said that it might
be related to the order the regex were ordered but nothing more.

I'll propose a patch to fix this particular case, but can we be sure
this is not happening in other places too?
