That's part of the IMAP protocol I believe.  It would be nice,
however, if nnimap.el could transform those labels into header entries
like the ones Reiner showed.  That's the quick-and-dirty solution.

Would it be more appropriate to add basic nn* functions to
get/set/list labels, and implement them in every backend?  That would
be a cleaner solution, but I would imagine a lot of work, especially
with the Agent and with simpler backends.  On the other hand,
implementing empty wrappers for most backends except nnimap may not be
too much work.
