Well, it does interesting things. For example,

/* REXX */
TRACE L
A: DO
   SIGNAL S
   S: SIGNAL OUT
E: END
OUT: NOP

prints

Ready; T=0.01/0.01 16:47:02
test
     3 *-* A:
     5 *-* S:
     7 *-* OUT:
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 16:47:04

I'm not proposing to emulate this behaviour. ANSI should be enough:

*6.4.2 Trace-only labels*
Instances of LABEL which occur within a grouping_instruction and are not in
a
ncl at the end of thatgrouping_instruction are instances of trace-only
labels
