Work fine.
Test suite say now
102 tests were successful.
14 tests were skipped.

As a curiosity two test are labeled exactly the same.
With the new test added, this is tests 45 and 46 (was 44 and 45 with 1.24).

 45: label with non-create option                    ok
 46: label with non-create option                    ok
