Fixed!

I removed BackupPC (don't use it anyway) and reinstalled selinux-policy-
targeted.  Then I rebooted to the "33" kernel.  I am now "Enforcing".

So, was the problem that selinux-policy-targeted not really being installed 
even if yum thought it was?

I verified on another system ... with BackupPC installed, I get some error 
messages when I install selinux-policy-targeted ("semanage failed" among 
others) ... after removing BackupPC, the reinstall works.
