You're right Mark that the information is indeed stored. It's just that the OS X
Finder doesn't show it. This can be verified with ResEdit in Classic mode. You
can get the info of a file and set its label.

As to being able to access this from AppleScript, you'd have to write an osax to
do it. That's probably not too hard to do, seeing that the GetLabel call is
included in Carbon. However the Finder still won't show it.
