That's my feeling as well.  We fontify labels with
font-lock-constant-face in other programming modes, so it would feel
wrong to deviate from that in bat-mode.

As for uses of labels, I see your point about inconsistency, but maybe
this is justified due to the fact that batch-file labels can be
CALLed?
If the concept of a label is used consistently across many major-modes, maybe it would make sense to define this as a first-class font-lock concept?

Basically we could have an official "font-lock-label-face" instead, which by default would be derived from font-lock-constant-face. That way people who want labels to look more like functions can customize it on their end.

Would that be a better option?
