Could you make sure selinux-policy-targeted is installed?
How do I do that? When I chose the option "install [?over] existing system", the install process didn't ask me to pick packages (which I found curious at the time) unless it asked and then timed out (I had to leave the install unattended at one point). Does "install [?using] existing system" use the existing package list, or something else?
yum install selinux-policy-targeted
