I went ahead with the X-ABLabel as parameter approach. My gut feeling is
that this will be easier to support in EDS and Evolution than connecting
two different properties. The full flexibility of a property is not
needed for labels; for example, line breaks can be entered neither on an
iPad nor in Google Contacts.

SyncEvolution >= 1.4.99.2 will start to copy custom labels into
X-ABLabel when syncing with a CardDAV server.

As mentioned before, Evolution currently drops the parameter extension.
I've created a bug for that:
