You would need to prepare labels with v.label first, then add the
labels with the label keyword.

This is a bug in the GUI dialog. You can select an attrcolumn after
setting the layer option layer to some valid layer number, even though
the layer option llayer, not layer, is used to specify the layer for
attrcolumn.
