Is there any logical reason for this or is this just a bug?

The filesystem name for a genfscon statement happens to be specified as
an identifier and an identifier must begin with a letter, but I don't
think that there is any technical reason for the restriction.
Would we want to allow all identifiers to be able to start with
alphanumeric characters (or maybe even "_") or just filesystem names?

I would say allow any alphanumeric and _, and then let the refpolicy
guidelines control what gets into that policy. Forcing IBM to change
the name of their file system for SELinux seems a little nuts.
