I have seen this behavior when reusing already created partitions and
doing an install on top of those.  The a new label is used, as you are
not erasing the partitions.

How I work around this (on partitions I can afford to lose) is to double
click on the partition in the installer, remove it, and add it back.
Since it is recreating the partition, it uses the correct label.  This
also erases your partition, so only do it for ones you are going to
reformat anyway :)

Thanks,
