We find this limitation acceptable given the complexity of what you want.

Not an inconstency. Not a bug. You need to use label() and not xpath().
See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/csssupport/label.html
In our own CSS stylesheets, we *never* use label() because xpath() is
indeed less ``dynamic'' compared to label() however it is also much more
efficient.
