We also encounter such problems when re-labelling images not
matching the dom0 kernel distribution, and just accept the
relabel delay (slow and linear) and second boot (boots are
fast) -- but I had hoped you had a solution ;)
Ah well, we do now :-)
The trick is to boot the SELinux guest once, using the magic
'qemu -no-reboot' option -- which will ensure when it tries to reboot
itself after relabelling, it instead shuts down. Full instructions

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.
