This bug is addressing the fact that labels do not save the user's preferred
UOM, which explains the phenomena you are describing.

The real fix is for the labels code to be refactored to save templates as xml
as patroncard code does. That was my long-term intention when I wrote the
patroncard feature. Of course, even the best of intentions never materialize at
times. :-P
