In this case, it appears that udev is creating a device node without
properly setting its security context.

I can confirm the same behavior on a rawhide system here.
/sbin/restorecon -nv /dev/fd0u1440 reports that it has default_t but
should have removable_device_t according to policy.

Possibly a bug in the latest version of udev?
