There are a number of issues with LABEL that have been fixed on the main
Mozilla development branch (where 1.1 lives) that have not been migrated to
the 1.0 branch (which N7 is based on). This is probably one of them.

LABEL doesn't work on a lot of INPUT elements in N7; it doesn't pass focus
to the actual INPUT element. Weirdly enough, I just today wrote an e-mail
to the Mozilla drivers group requesting that a LABEL Moz 1.1 fix be applied
back to the 1.0 branch because of the accessibility issues. We'll see what
comes of that.
