So I used the filter on 'Outline pane/Labels and reference' to single out some of the labels. For some reason, the filter result includes the labels, but omits the references for some of the labels. If I look at the full list of labels, they all appear correctly with all their references. However, when I apply a filter, the correct labels appear, but some of them appear without their references.

Yes, confirmed. The filter works on the text that is displayed. So if I 
open the User Guide and the label list, and type "Safety" in the filter, 
then I get the one label "sec:Safety-Nets", and the references to it 
vanish. If, by contrast, I type "2.2", then the label remains, with that 
one reference.

I have been wondering about how the cross-references are displayed, and 
whether "2.2", say, is really useful, rather than what we used to have, 
which would be something like "Ref: sec:Safety-Nets".
