man 5 fstab does only show LABEL, but since "mount" seems to be OK
with "label", but e2fsck doesn't, I'd venture to suggest that one of them
(probably, actually, "mount" as one should generally not expect "label" to
be the same as "LABEL") is a bug.  Not sure whether to report it against
mount, e2fsck, fsck or fstab.
