 after (funnily enough) just examining apache_macros.te, i don't see a
 file_auto_trans in there which i would have expected there to be.

 sure, there's a create_dir_file, but i would have expected at least to
 see some use of file_type_auto_trans($1_t, httpd_$1_content_t, httpd_$1_content_t)
 [i think that's right: if a user creates stuff in the
 httpd_user_content_t directory, it's given that same context]

 and yes i'd expect mv and cp to obey that file_type_auto_trans.

around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
