This is perfectly achievable by just removing the label element from the
sorting macro. I do not really understand why the processor should
remove a label from a macro if this macro is used for sorting. There may
be cases in which the label is required for sorting. That's actually the
reason for having a macro attribute for the key element -- to consent
the maximum flexibility when sorting references, is it not?

I tend to agree with the Zotero consensus and I'm actually changing the
previous way citeproc-hs was dealing with the
subsequent-author-substitute option.
