Thanks. Can you please file a Bugzilla for selinux-policy in RHEL? It would
help us get the issue fixed. This is an URL for the Bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%206&component=selinux-policy

It would be also helpful to write output of the following command so that we
can see the raw AVCs:

# ausearch -m avc -ts today

Thank you,
Martin
