In theory the MusicBrainz XML schema allows unlimited nesting of
entities, so a release event can contain a label, which can contain
all information a label can contain everywhere else [1]. I practice
this is restricted by the webservice interface and not every
combination is really returned by the server.

But in this case the inc parameter for releases allows
"release-events", "labels" and "label-rels"[2], which will result in
the behavior you described.
