To expand a little on what is happening here:

    # service openshift-iptables-port-proxy start
    Can't open /dev/fd/63: Permission denied
    Can't open /dev/fd/63: Permission denied

Here's the code that fails:

    #!/bin/bash
    # openshift-iptables-port-proxy
    #
    ### BEGIN INIT INFO
    # Short-Description:  Script to apply the openshift port proxy iptables rules.
    # Description: Script to apply the openshift port proxy iptables rules.
    ### END INIT INFO
    
    case "$1" in
        start)
            if [ -f /etc/openshift/iptables.filter.rules ]; then
               iptables-restore -n <(echo "*filter"; cat /etc/openshift/iptables.filter.rules; echo "COMMIT")

The iptables-restore executable has a context transition:

    # ls -lZlZH /sbin/iptables-restore
    -rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:iptables_exec_t:s0 /sbin/iptables-restore

However, Bash creates the fifo from the command substitution in the context of the initscript (this can be verified using strace -f).  The <() command substitution expands to /dev/fd/63, which is passed to the iptables-restore process in its arguments list, iptables-restore tries to open /dev/fd/63, and it fails because iptables-restore has type iptables_t in its context whereas the pipe has type initrc_t  in its context:

oo-admin-ctl-iptables-port-proxy: SELinux fix

Give input to iptables-restore on standard input instead of using command
substitution.

Bash was expanding the <(...) command-substitution to a fifo, which
oo-admin-ctl-iptables-port-proxy was then passing to the iptables-restore
command as a command-line argument.  If oo-admin-ctl-iptables-port-proxy
was being run from the /etc/init.d/openshift-iptables-port-proxy
initscript, then Bash would have an SELinux context with type initrc_t, and
it thus would create the fifo also with type initrc_t.  However,
iptables-restore transitions SELinux contexts so that it is running with
the iptables_t type.  The iptables-restore command would thus fail when it
tried to open the fifo because SELinux policy blocks processes with type
iptables_t from reading fifos with type initrc_t.

(Interestingly, the manpage for iptables-restore does not indicate that
iptables-restore is even supposed to take a filename as an argument.)

This commit fixes bug 1020391.

Verified this bug with rubygem-openshift-origin-node-1.16.2-1.git.31.04b2e87.el6op.noarch in 2.0/2013-10-23.2 puddle, and PASS.
