I recommended they run fsck on the file systems to identify and fix any
problems.

Subsequent runs of fsck to actually fix the problems does not appear to
work. I even had them put the file /forcefsck on the system and reboot.
Same issues. The results of the fsck seem to vary slightly.

I have not seen the same happen, but I would find it informative to know
if setting selinux to off is enough to get past the problem (though I
doubt it).
Also, in your first fsck run, you said "no" to fix problems; did you
subsequently run it with yes ? You would need to boot from the rescue
cd (or cd 1) so that the filesystems to check can be written to.
