Still working on it.

Naturally users are defined in /etc/selinux/src/users.

user root roles { staff_r sysadm_r ifdef(`direct_sysadm_daemon', 
`system_r') };
user myuser roles { staff_r sysadm_r ifdef(`direct_sysadm_daemon', 
`system_r') };

I browsed newrole.c. The problem was PAM.
This is what /etc/pam.d/newrole looked like after policycoreutils
installation:

auth     required  /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account  required  /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required  /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session  required  /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session  optional  /lib/security/$ISA/pam_xauth.so

None of the libs were present. Removing these lines helped.
Same apply to /etc/pam.d/run_init.
