Looks like it's just the same one now:

type=AVC msg=audit(1149799121.917:265395): avc:  denied  { setattr } for
pid=10825 comm="httpd" name="mod_fcgid" dev=dm-4 ino=458818
scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=dirtype=SYSCALL

name="/etc/httpd/run/mod_fcgid" flags=1  inode=458818 dev=fd:04
mode=040755 ouid=48 ogid=48 rdev=00:00

(/etc/httpd/run is a symlink to /var/run)

So I guess I just change the rule to be for httpd_var_run_t rather than
var_run_t (rw_dir_perms doesn't include setattr)?

What I currently have is:

policy_module(fastcgi, 0.1.0)

require {
        type devpts_t;
        type httpd_t;
        type httpd_config_t;
        type httpd_log_t;
        type httpd_sys_script_exec_t;
        type httpd_sys_content_t;
        type var_run_t;
};

# ==========================================================
# Create and use httpd_fastcgi_script_t for mod_fcgid apps
# ==========================================================

apache_content_template(fastcgi)
kernel_read_kernel_sysctls(httpd_fastcgi_script_t)

# Allow FastCGI applications to live alongside regular CGI apps
allow httpd_fastcgi_script_t httpd_sys_script_exec_t:dir
{ search_dir_perms };
allow httpd_fastcgi_script_t httpd_sys_content_t:dir
{ search_dir_perms };

# Allow FastCGI applications to read the routing table
allow httpd_fastcgi_script_t self:netlink_route_socket
{ r_netlink_socket_perms };

# Allow FastCGI applications to listen for FastCGI requests on their
# sockets and respond to them
allow httpd_fastcgi_script_t httpd_t:unix_stream_socket
{ rw_stream_socket_perms };

# FastCGI application doing something to the httpd error log
dontaudit httpd_fastcgi_script_t httpd_log_t:file ioctl;

# Not sure what this is doing (happens when fastcgi scripts start)
dontaudit httpd_t devpts_t:chr_file ioctl;

# mod_fcgid setting attr of its socket dir
allow httpd_t var_run_t:dir setattr;

# ======================================================
# Equivalent policy cribbed from httpd_sys_script_t
# ======================================================

dontaudit httpd_fastcgi_script_t httpd_config_t:dir search;

files_search_var_lib(httpd_fastcgi_script_t)
files_search_spool(httpd_fastcgi_script_t)

ifdef(`distro_redhat',`
        allow httpd_fastcgi_script_t httpd_log_t:file { getattr
append };
')

ifdef(`targeted_policy',`
        tunable_policy(`httpd_enable_homedirs',`

userdom_search_generic_user_home_dirs(httpd_fastcgi_script_t)
        ')
')

optional_policy(`
        mysql_stream_connect(httpd_fastcgi_script_t)
        mysql_rw_db_sockets(httpd_fastcgi_script_t)
')
