I have similar experience with mozilla. So > the question remains, could gnus have also this kind of feature. What kind of labels are we talking about? Do you mean user-defined message flags? Or message/mailbox annotations? A tcpdump log from when you use this feature in Mozilla/Thunderbird might be useful. User-defined message flags are possible today, if you know how Gnus works internally, i.e., there is no user interface for it. Perhaps it would help if people could brainstorm on what the user experience should be.
