Looking at the yacc source, no comma is wanted.

    .G1
    label left "foo" "bar"
    1 2
    3 4
    .G2

I think the man page is misleading.

    label (left|right|top|bottom) quoted_string [string_modifiers]
        [, quoted_string [string_modifiers]] ...
        [up expr | down expr | left expr | right expr]

Cheers, Ralph.
