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.
