This bug should be fixed by,

commit 04f40bc55ed4f39d6c625b017bb16907f7d50c05

    run_command: Use load_kernel() which understands labels
    
    load_kernel() understands how to handle labels from config files
    whereas create_args_and_load() assumes that the cmdline is a COM32
    file. Callers of syslinux_run_command() may want to pass labels, so
    use a function that allows that.

which is part of releases 5.10, 6.00, 6.01.
