Maybe the docs should be reworded to make them clearer:

"If you give a label to an object, the object will not be destroyed between
frames.  It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that the object
is not created multiple times, either by using a flag with a persistent
variable or by checking the 'clock' variable."
