Default SELinux, contexts, restorecon, chcon

I wonder if someone can give me some pointers regarding the following problem:

I am running RHEL4 x86_64 on a Quad Opteron HW.

I have the following in
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts:

/etc/httpd -d system_u:object_r:httpd_config_t
/etc/httpd/conf.* system_u:object_r:httpd_config_t

Yet, after I created '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl' and some subdirectories thereof and they were
assigned user 'root:', running 'restorecon -R -v /etc/httpd/conf' does not restore the correct
user 'system_u:'. I actually have to do 'chcon' to force the user attributes.

WHY?

Thanks
