If visible and programmatic labels are in a different language, then we
definitely have a failure of "label in name".
The search input meets the visible label because it is visually labeled by
its adjacent button (g167):

So I don't really see any fails with the original scenario.
Not ideal, no, but passing WCAG, yeah.
