Presumably this was triggered by FC5's memory protection?

I think what should really happen is that the distribution's upstream
policy should include the correct context for the module in its final
destination under /lib/modules/... (Dan Walsh at Red Hat has always been
amenable to adding things to policy like this) and that all that should
be necessary for a dkms package would be something like this in dkms's
"install" section:

[ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /path/to/installed/module
