Change to the label property in 6.7

[Peter Haworth]

No reminder necessary and one of the reasons I look at dp releases is
exactly what you said, to find things that aren't compatible with my code
and probably other peoples' code too. And yes, it bothers me but that's not
a reason to not test things.  I'm simply stating my opinion about a change
that I had no idea was coming.  I don't disagree with the concept as I said
but I also don't believe its worth breaking backward compatibility to fix
it.

I've already filed a bug on the issue of what happens to the menuHistory
when the label is set to a non-existent value. Hopefully that won't raise
too many other hackles.
