Checked with Narrator and JAWS. It works the same in both cases - with and without the changes.

In case of JAWS, it reads out label names  as in "Item-1" and the changed labels "New Item-1".
In case of narrator, it announces just the component name as in "Menu" , "Menu item" and not the label name itself and it works the same with and without the changes.
