   Actually, I think the problem you're describing is different.  The
situation I described had to do with an intentional design decision in
JadeTeX that did not suit our needs.  The problem you describe seems
to be a shortcoming in JadeTeX.
   I'm afraid I couldn't quite follow your description.  Do you have a
short example that demonstrates the problem?
   Keep in mind that \Label is just a variable that holds the label to
be created, and that \Node doesn't actually create the label.  That's
done in \FlowObjectSetup, as noted in the comment before its
definition (at line 2250 or so in jadetex.dtx).
