I've been running that policy since last Friday when I updated from updates-testing on F10 X86_64.  There have been no 
problems (in fact it fixed many selinux problems on my system) and my home directory has the proper context without any 
intervention on my part.  I don't know if it matters, but I am also running the updates-testing kernel.  And I have been 
logged in since the reboot (I did do an autorelabel with the reboot).  I don't want to shutdown all my nicely configured 
windows and applications, so I'm not going to check whether logging in and out changes things. :-)
