Looking at the code it's definitely a bug. The configuration updater doesn't take into account styles within a label so it applies the snippet you send to the label object. If your snippet contained reference to an attribute a  label doesn't support then you'd get a parsing error. Because 'color' is supported by both it happily changes the wrong color. Can you file a ticket?
