I guess that LABEL= option (e.g. from grub.conf) is in human readable format (like in /etc/fstab). The mount(8) also supports quoted LABELs and UUIDs (e.g. LABEL="foo"). Currently we don't have a command line util that supports all these features, the problem should be fixed in the next util-linux-ng release by blkid(8).
