I think if you wanted to have custom labels at different places for different 
zoom levels you would need to make multiple copies of the layer, and have each 
one visible only at certain zoom levels.

If you add a label x,y to your table and then use the label move tool as
part of the new labelling engine the values will be written to the
table. These values should stick for all zoom levels.
