Description of problem:
When updating the kernel, the new BLS snippet gets "module_object_t label:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
- ls -lZ /boot/loader/entries/
[...]

This is due to copying the "bls.conf" template from the kernel tree without using "-Z" option to "cp", as seen on line 94 of /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/20-grub.install:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
93 if [[ -f "${KERNEL_DIR}/bls.conf" ]]; then
94 cp -aT "${KERNEL_DIR}/bls.conf" "${BLS_TARGET}" || exit $?
95 else
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
Note that RHEL9 implements a different fix using "restorecon", on idea why this complicated code is used:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
65 rm f "/boot/${i##*/}${KERNEL_VERSION}"
66 cp aT "$i" "/boot/${i##*/}${KERNEL_VERSION}"
67 command -v restorecon &>/dev/null && \
68 restorecon R "/boot/${i##*/}${KERNEL_VERSION}"
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
