The labels do exist. I got confirmation that they drop all labels.

Also agree that being able to retroactively edit edited time on GitHub is almost certainly not going to happen, whereas GitHub fixing their repo migration to preserve labels seems likely. One question, Anton, did you create the labels in the target repo before trying the migration? Just a vague hypothesis that perhaps it might preserve them if the labels already exist, but drop them if they don't (pure speculation, but plausible enough to be worth testing out IMO).
