Sorry, I've been on leave and haven't really had brainspace to think
about this.  I think you're right though, whatever else we do with
stuff we do want to allow redefinition of labels as long as they
attach to the same thing (i.e. same path, and property within that
path when applicable).  Labels within property values do get curly if
that property is altered, but that doesn't directly affect this test.
