I think only in the case where a non-initial SID has been invalidated by
policy reload that renders its context illegal and is thus remapped to
the unlabeled SID.

What's the harm from just using the SID comparison and allowing for the
possibility that there might be a few duplicates in rare circumstances?
Does it break any assumptions in the rest of the logic?
