I made the docs before changing node2label, saved the output of lib and ref,
then re-made after the change.  The only differences appeared to be correct.

Note:  I had a problem building the tutorial both before and after the change:

*** Session transcript and error messages are in Doc/html/tut/tut.how.

        (texinputs/boilerplate.tex) (tut.aux)
        Runaway argument?
        {\contentsline {chapter}{\numberline {9}Cl
        ! File ended while scanning use of \@writefile

Somebody ought to help you from time to time. :-)

If this change fixes the problem, can you close the bug.
Also we need to backport the change to 2.2.
