The underlying API that Originate uses here
(ast_pbx_outgoing_exten_predial) accepts an integer priority, not a
string, which would preclude labels.
However, Originate itself could accept a string and convert it to the
integer priority before making that call. I think that would be an
improvement/new feature, not a bug that exists today, per se, but an
easy and useful enhancement at that. Another option would be a dialplan
function to allow users to manually get the integer priority of a label,
which could be useful for existing code that expects numeric priorities.
