I think it would be nice to keep "sec-NUM", with NUM matching current
numbering, for numbered headlines. I'm not against a simple global
counter for unnumbered headlines:

  \label{sec-1}
  \label{unnumbered-1}
  \label{sec-2}
  \label{unnumbered-2}

or in the following example

  * H1
  ** H2
     :PROPERTIES:
     :UNNUMBERED: t
     :END:
  *** H3
  *** H4
  * H5
  ** H6

the labelling scheme

 \label{sec-1}
 \label{unnumbered-1}
 \label{unnumbered-2}
 \label{unnumbered-3}
 \label{sec-2}
 \label{sec-2-1}

The former, but see below.

Actually, there was a small bug in the code, now fixed. `latex' back-end
is expected to use "hyperref" when headline in unnumbered.

You are the LaTeX expert. Isn't it reasonable?
