Commit 1c91bc84 ("libsepol: reject self flag in type rules in old
policies") actually rejects all type rules in conditionals in modular
policies prior to version 21 (MOD_POLICYDB_VERSION_SELF_TYPETRANS).

The problem is because of fall-through in a switch statement when
the avrule flags are 0. Instead, break rather than fall-through when
avrule flags are 0.

Thanks for spotting this.
I'am probably going to look to enhance the downgrade unit test for the
next validate updates...
