It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing its nearby use. Removing it would have revealed the other use of the label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.
