Yes, this is a bug. Good catch -- I hadn't tested color labels on
folders. Color labels are stored in a file/folder's FinderInfo.

Unfortunately, Python doesn't currently support retrieving the
FinderInfo for folders. However, with version 10.4 of MacOS X, the
FinderInfo data is also exposed as an extended attribute. So, I've
patched the extended attributes code to record the FinderInfo for
folders. This patch has been committed to CVS and will appear in 1.1.8.

So, if you're running CVS and 10.4, it should work as expected.

Thanks,
Andrew
