When you think about it, I suppose it is expected behaviour. Generally when
you recycle a tape you would not expect the label to change. If you are
recycling it into a different pool with a different label template this is
probably a strange case, and who is to say what is the correct or desired
behaviour? Would you actually want the label to change? I don't think there
is a right or wrong answer to this. In reality, the majority of cases would
be using barcodes and matching barcodes to labels, so this would not be an
issue. What has happened in your case is probably something that Legato
have never considered, and I don't expect they would agree that this is a
bug.
