Setting the text of a pulldown menu should not change that object's apparent label. In any app, note the menu bar menus: items in a menu may change, but those changes do not change the name of the menu in which they appear.
As for the label property itself, yes, one of the wonderful things about LC is the ability to set object name and display label separately, so we can use names that have mnemonic value in our code while providing a graceful experience for the user.
But FWIW that seems to work here (v9, Ubuntu). I've never seen it do otherwise.
