If I change the label of a CCK content type, the module still seems to reference the original name. In the attached screenshot, 'job announcement' was the original label. I wonder if this is a serious bug.

I think that is by design.

For me, it's not a bug, it's a feature. Just think of people using foreign languages, e.g. german "umlauts". In german, the label "guestbook" would be "gästebuch", which cck changes to "gstebuch" as field label. But now there's a way to avoid this: I label the field "gaestebuch", and change the label to "gästebuch" without a change of internal label. AND you're able to use special chars after having defined a drupal-conforme label. Nice feature!

Yes, I use it the same way :-)

Thanks. Glad to know it is a feature rather than a bug. I was worried that the internal reference to the original name might mung things up when using views or otherwise manipulating the cck fields.

This is indeed the way things are intended; we don't want to break themes, views etc. when an admin decides to change the label.
