After further thinking I now believe that the best way solve possible further problem with page size and labels is to add page height 
and width to the label definitions (/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Labels.xcu). The present definitions can only 
be used for symmetrical label forms (both vertically and horizontally) and there is no margin for rounding errors (e.g. a page width 
or height which is some tenths of a milimeter wrong is possible, which in turn can cause problems with some printers).
Changing the label definitions is too much of an effort for me (code as well as UI needs to be changed), so I'll stick to my current patch.
