I defined the label on the inflated surface, I don't know what the
coordinates are mapped into when they are saved from tksurfer.  I guess
the vertex numbers go through a lookup into the orig surface to get
those coordinates.

When I ran the label2label mapping a second time, using the results of
the first mapping, the results are identical!  That confirms the
integrity of the mri_label2label process.

So, tksurfer is mapping coordinates to a different surface (orig) to the
surface used in mri_label2label (white). So, the coordinates of a label
saved from tksurfer cannot be compared with the output of
mri_label2label, even when the vertex indices are identical.  There is
nothing in the .label file to indicate what surface it belongs to.

Thanks, Darren
