I am using '/' as the label of my root partition. I had no problems so
far. On the other hand, I don't use grub or actually using that label
instead of the full device path; just to name a few things that I can
think of that makes me avoid the problem you mentioned.

There was a thread on debian-user, lately, named something like
`parted off CD'. In that thread someone said he successfully booted
into single user and resized his / partition using parted. That was
done with / mounted ro while using the parted binaries that was
installed from the parted deb package.
