Oh, my brain always starts hurting when I have to conceive of the difference
between a block device node and its mount point :-)

Still, aiui, pmount tries to name it first using the partition label (which
you now have), then the udev device name (and probably all of the udev
symlink names, too), so udev will still give the right result.
