This is not about Beaker, is it?
But since you mention it, beakerlib does cp -a upon backup and restore
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/beakerlib.git/tree/src/infrastructure.sh#n484
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/beakerlib.git/tree/src/infrastructure.sh#n593
for files to preserve the SELinux context, plus chcon --reference
upon backup for directories:

You might specifically want to run your test on non-sane state because
you want to test that the non-sane state will for example produce
correct error, SELinux-related or other.
