This looks sane: 

[root at f20 ~]# auditctl -s
enabled 1
flag 1
pid 307
rate_limit 0
backlog_limit 320
lost 0
backlog 0
backlog_wait_time 60000
loginuid_immutable 0 unlocked
[root at f20 ~]# echo "1" > /proc/self/loginuid
[root at f20 ~]# auditctl --loginuid-immutable
[root at f20 ~]# auditctl -s
enabled 1
flag 1
pid 307
rate_limit 0
backlog_limit 320
lost 0
backlog 0
backlog_wait_time 60000
loginuid_immutable 1 locked
[root at f20 ~]# echo "2" > /proc/self/loginuid
-bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
