In regard to this: "But I was surprised that the assistive software
spoke the words of the descriptor in both cases in the same way, whether
there was a Label tag or not."

What you've stated is true, however, when JAWS is in forms mode the
input field without a label tag will not be read to the user when the
user arrives at that input, therefore, making it inaccessible.
