The '-X' flag attempts to make attributes match on the source and destination files. Since the source files have no SELinux attribute, rsync will try to remove it from the destination, where an attribute has been inherited. I'm not entirely certain why a file couldn't have no SELinux label, but since you don't have any extended attributes to preserve, the simple solution would be to stop telling rsync to preserve extended attributes.
