Well, I think it was true in the beginning (as I remember a discussion
from Mojca on how to handle labels differently in the gnuplot module),
but clearly that is not the case now.

Minimal example to show what is happening:
\startbuffer[initialize]
picture T;
T := textext("Hello");
picture Q;
Q := T;
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[T]
draw T withcolor blue;
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[Q]
draw Q shifted (-1mm, 1mm) withcolor red;
\stopbuffer
\startlines
Only draw T: \processMPbuffer[initialize,T]
Only draw Q: \processMPbuffer[initialize,Q]
Draw T & Q : \processMPbuffer[initialize,T,Q]
Draw Q & T : \processMPbuffer[initialize,Q,T]
\stoplines
