The dictionary says you shouldn't mess with tVar within the loop:

Pasted from the dictionary:
 "Important! In any of the for each loops, you should not change the labelVariable or container in a statement inside the loop. Doing so will not cause a script error, but will almost certainly produce unexpected results".

If your method works every time, I guess the dictionary is out of date once again. I also remember a post saying that changing the labelVariable (L in this case) works OK, in spite of what the dictionary says.
