Seen in /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/Makefile:

relabel: $(FC) $(SETFILES)

        @echo "Cleaning out /tmp"
        -rm -rf /tmp/.??* /tmp/*

which is where your /tmp/sepcut-* and /tmp/.X11-unix/ went (the first explaining your sepcut error, the second explaining your X11 problem).

I'll let somebody else address the question of whether that 'rm' command is over-zealous, as I'm not sure what it's trying to do. If it's trying to make sure there's no symlink attacks, it's going about it wrongly, as all that does is close down the race conditions a bit.

Most likely, what it *should* be doing is a mkdir and working inside that directory for temp files.
