Not sure what happened here. If you continue to experience a problem with pin,
contact me off-list. Set your SOS Server logging to verbose mode, perform 
the pin actions, and then
send me a copy of your server log.

You are correct, the label name is not shown. I've added this as a 
bug/feature request for a future SOS release. It won't make it into 4.0, 
I'm afraid.

Thanks for pointing this out. Feedback from users like you helps us to 
build a better product.
