Rick,

I don't think that is necessary for a classObj's natural label member. 
Try this

     classObj co =  new classObj(null);
     co.getLabel().getBackgroundcolor().getRed()  .... should be -1

On the other hand, if you do this

     labelObj lo = new labelObj();
     lo.getBackgroundcolor().getRed() .... will be 0

The second example is improper usage, the label's colors never get 
properly initialized in this case. Users ought to be better protected 
from these sharp edges of mapscript, but alas.
