Smells like a bug...

It's unfortunate you had to go to such lengths to get consistent 
display behavior here.

Seems like there should definitely be a way to set the label format and 
have it stick.

Maybe somebody who knows this class internally is listening, and will 
have some time to make it so. Or.... you could make the changes and 
submit a gerrit patch to fix the unfortunate behavior. :-)
