auditctl is still reporting the "error sending rule" problem. Here are

This is not the error sending rule problem. This looks like a
permission problem. What selinux policy and role are you doing this
from? Are there any relevant AVCs in the audit logs from this time?

I've "enchanced" this transcript with strace output (selective) and the
return code of the selinux_socket_recvmsg call.
This is a transcript from Permissive mode, with role being staff_r. I do
not see the "Error sending rule list request (Operation not permitted)"
when SELinux is disabled (selinux=0) or when as auditadm_r at SystemHigh.

I do not know enough of about the auditctl code, but to me this looks
like auditctl is failing to issue the 3rd recvfrom syscall.
As a side note, auditctl is somehow executable by staff_t, but staff_t
can send to the netlink socket (although staff_t can estabish one).
Thanks,
Mike
