Absolutely, yes. You should relabel twice: Once before rebooting into the SELinux kernel, once after (to label the files created during shutdown and boot).

I've seen these during my yesterday burnout, too. Check if your loaded policy, policy on disk and kernel all match in versions. Did it load the policy correctly? Try make load again. Also, I think you can delete the /etc/selinux/file_contexts/file_contexts file since it should be created from the .fc files.
Also, when you remove .te files, don't forget to remove the corresponding .fc files, too.
