Andreas, Thanks for your suggestion - yes, attribute table references are needed for label distance, X & Y coordinates before the horizontal & vertical alignment fields and rotation are enabled. Pointing all of these to a dummy (null) attribute enables the rotation dropdown list, but selecting an attribute value for rotation (the same as in the old dialog) gives no rotation. On the assumption that I've not made any further incorrect assumptions and this functionality is as intended, I'll have to stick with the old labels - in the UK Ordnance Survey data that I use, labels are identified in point files with an rotation.
