Is "labels" really a valid "inc" parameter for an artist query?  I have tried a handful of artist MBIDs and the results do not contain any label information.

Yes, but only for release resources and only when you've asked for release-events. See this for an example:

According to the documentation at http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/XMLWebService#Searching_Artists "labels" is valid for artist queries. But indeed you need to use the release-events include to see any labels. The following example works as expected:
