I think that audit2allow -d only outputs selinux audit messages from
'dmesg' so a reboot would clear the cache of audit messages which may
account for that.

Shutting off selinux is OK since I guess you are gonna wipe it all out
anyway and I gather there are some new tools in FC-5 but I have learned
to make peace with the beast that is selinux (at least as far as RHEL
4/CentOS 4 & FC-3 and FC-4) and it is possible to keep selinux running
and have a usable system. I certainly understand the temptation to just
shut it off because you don't understand it...I just refused to do that
and gradually am learning it.
