Depends what you mean by "works". the label is by default the property that "identifies" an item, and it is often useful to use the same label in distinct places to refer to the same item---eg, if you have a file of locations, and you create a separate file of their geocoded latitudes and longitudes.
If you want to give two distinct items the same label, you can do so by giving them distinct values of the "id" property, which overrides label as the unique identifier of the item. More precisely: items are named by their id. items with the same id are considered the same. if no id is specifically given, then the id is equal to the label.
