But not necessarily deterministic and persistent.

Because their detection depends on data content and arrangement. If later a
cell content is added with the same string that is nearer to the formula cell
then a recompilation of the formula will yield a different result.

I love it when people who do not know the code and implications say "should be
easy"..

No, they are the correct way to use labels.

Anyway, I'll come up with a fix for this situation (no text content above/below
and empty cell below and numeric cell to the right leads to a row label), which
of course *might* break other uses of the non-deterministic automatic labels
where exactly this constellation previously lead to a column label.
