I'm already working on too many different things to take a serious run at a labelled values proposal, but it is avoiding precisely this kind of problem that makes me favour a permissive solution that *doesn't* define any new behaviour for the instance, aside from changing the result of repr() and the contents of pickles. (You could potentially combine it with a "sensitive values" proposal that ensured repr() and other operations only displayed the label without showing the contents at all - this is also potentially useful for labelling large strings that may otherwise overwhelm debug output).
