Assuming NetLabel, a destination unreachable ICMP error should take the label 
of the packet that generated the error.  If labeled IPsec, it might end up as 
kernel_t due to how the flows/routing table work; I would need to go look 
closer at the code to say for certain.

Probably :)

Basically you'll get the kernel's initial sid, which is kernel_t:s15:c0.c1023 
with the MLS policy, when the traffic is generated by the kernel and there is 
no associated peer label.
