If you can do that from a shell running as postgres, then I think selinux is not so disabled as you think. Ordinary file permissions are applied uniformly to all processes running as a given userid, but selinux is different.
SELinux is definitely not present on this machine - it is not installed at all.
At it turned out, the postgresql server had cached the system user permissions, and it only started working after postgresql had been restarted and the cached credentials had been replaced.
