Perhaps the word "LabelFormat" was poorly chosen. In fact it could better be
called "NameFormat", and it defines how the volume will be named. Once the
name has been chosen (by you), it will never be changed by Bacula. You must
explicitly do that by deleting the volume and relabeling it.
The actual Volume label does not contain the job name that wrote the label.

Your question sounds like you are pointing the finger at Bacula for having
done something wrong, but it was you who (possibly because of a poorly chosen
directive name) decided what to use for the volume name.
