I just tested the following config and it works as expected (both menu entries
shown):
UI com32r/gfxboot.c32 bootlogo438
label mga32
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default
label mga64
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default

Loading the following label works for me:
label g2
com32 com32r/gfxboot.c32
append bootlogo438
Which version of gfxboot core are you using? Is PXELINUX involved?
