Now this I can explain. Every task has it's own correct
label. The problem is a missing smack_getprocattr() hook.
ps is getting the value for "current" on the current process,
not that of the named process. Interestingly, the Smack label
of /proc/<xxx>/attr/current is correct.
So the fix is to put in the smack_getprocattr() hook.
Easily accomplished. Thank you for the informative and
helpful report.
