 Hi,

 This is a great patch and much needed functionality but I think there
 might be a bug.
 I am labeling features dynamically by using their attributes.

 {{{
 var myStyle = OpenLayers.Util.applyDefaults({
 "label": '$(label)',
 "labelHaloColor": 'green',
 "labelHaloWidth": '1'
 })
 }}}

 Unfortunately, after I change feature's label through it's properties,
 label & halo on the screen do not update properly. It seems that only halo
 is being re-rendered. On feature change, I am also forcing vector layer
 refresh and redraw but with no success. I am using FireFox and Chrome.

 {{{
 feature.layer.refresh(true);
 feature.layer.redraw();
 }}}

 This is how it looks when I update label 'Test linestring' to 'Test
 linestring another string':
