Generally speaking we don't want to change any SELinux socket labels
once it has been created.  While the peer_sid is a bit different,
changing it after userspace has access to the socket could be
problematic.  In the case where the peer_sid differs between the two
we have a permission check which allows policy to control this
behavior which seems like the best option at this point.

Thanks, I'm going to go ahead and merge these two patches into
selinux/next right now.
