That seams to depend on what version of the HAL rules you have.
Sometimes HAL works fine with unlabeled partitions, and sometimes it
does not. The partition type also sometimes makes a difference,
though I have not looked too deep into it. Adding a label may be
enough to make it auto-mount. But not if there is an entry in
/etc/fstab for it. I think HAL checks for a rule in /etc/fstab, and
does not mount if it finds one - probably to give you an easy way to
override HAL.
