I don't understand enough about selinux (who does?) to be sure what went wrong there on top of this, but my impression was that I could have solved the problem if I had been able to remount the root partition, or mount the selinux file system, which was made impossible by the fact that I had no permission to access one of the libraries for the mount binary. The location of the library file was not the problem I had, as that system doesn't have a separate /usr partition.
