/etc/mtab is a special case in that it's quite trivial and also very annoying.

I will change the policy to allow mount_t to read and unlink file_t:file.  
Then it should be able to do it's stuff.

Please put the following in your policy and see if it solves things for you 
next time you boot a non-SE kernel (sorry I don't have a machine I feel like 
booting a non-SE kernel on at the moment).
allow mount_t file_t:file { getattr read unlink };
