No, I didn't make any local changes, I haven't touched the files, this
was on a fresh kickstart.  Ah, it looks like the %post script for
selinux-policy-targeted-sources will reload the policy the first time
it's installed too, i.e. by anaconda.  So it's doomed from the out.

That could be changed to really only happen on upgrades, but I'd
question whether -sources should automatically reload the policy at all. 
Getting so easily into a state where "up2date selinux-targeted-policy"
doesn't automatically apply policy updates (given no local modifications
to the sources) is bad.
