The label property was used when listing data items in the administration. To some extent the scaffolding and form tools that allow you to easily specify which columns to show in the admin has made "label" redundant.
I don't have a copy of the core to hand, so I'm not exactly sure what the defaults are for setting label, but I thought it was only automatically using "title". However, to resolve your issue, you can tell farcry which properties to use as the label by giving a property the bLabel="1" attribute to explicitly specify which properties will be inserted into the label property. Just set the "title" property in your custom type to bLabel="1" and that should resolve the error message for you.
