The default tries to mimic what GNU used to do when we added the feature.

The diff.*.xfuncname configuration variable is there exactly for people
like you to tweak what we use for hunk headers. Please experiment with it
and if you come up with a better set of patterns, people may want to copy
it and use it themselves. we may even consider updating the built-in
default with your patterns, once they got adopted by wider audiences.

Personally, I would have to say that the source wouldn't be using too many
labels with the same name for this behaviour to be problematic, especially
if it is not freaking BASIC ;-), so...
