Two things caught my eye.

Why is the '>' necessary?  Could it happen that you had incremented past the
point of equality?

If that could not happen, then in my oppinion '>=' is very misleading when '=='
is really what is needed.

I wonder why it is valid to uncritically use the already incremented label_len
here, without checking its value (like is done above).

It seems strangely asymmetrical. I'm not saying it's wrong, because there may
be a subtle reason as to why it's not, but if that's the case then I think that
subtle reason should be documented with a comment.

Same applies here.
