Well, the specific implementation of the atk object can override the
method get_name, and return the name of the label always. Anyway, that
shouldn't be the case. In most of the ->get_name reimplementation, it
first check if there are already a name, and if not, provides the
default source (label, widget name, whatever).
Could you identify somehow which is the atk implementor for this
object?

IMHO, this should be done on the ATK level. One of the purposes of
atk_object_set_name is allow the application to set a name for an
object if required.
