It doesn't feel right to me. As Duff said in his article, the <Lbl> tag is intended to specify the semantics of the list, not contain data.

That said, PAC3 and the CommonLook PDF Validator don't report any errors and screen reader behaviour seems reasonable, so I can't see a strong argument against the technique other than it's ugly (which probably won't bother people who want to use the technique).
