Substring ‘_NEW_’ is not allowed in labels of a document version 1.0?

I knew that WebTop automatically adds label ‘_NEW_’ in version 1.0 of a created document. Thus, the ‘_NEW_’ is predefined label, like ‘CURRENT’. This is OK for me. But seems even presence of substring ‘_NEW_’ is not allowed in a label of document version 1.0? I have seen the following on Documentum Content Server (Developer Edition v 6.6) using WebTop:

1. Created new dm_document. During the creation I have specified one additional label ‘A:_NEW_’. NOTE: I need this ‘A:_NEW_’ because of some my reasons
   
2. Checked it in as the same version 1.0. After this labels of the document are: ‘1.0’, ‘CURRENT, A:_NEW_’
   
3. Checked the document out
   
4. Tried to check it in without specifying any labels. I get the following error message:
   

“Could not check in document 'D1' : "Label _NEW_ does not exist in D1 sysobject."”

So, even presence of substring ‘_NEW_’ is not allowed in a label of document version 1.0? If a add such label ‘A:_NEW_’ into a document with version 1.1 and then try to checkin/checkout – no problems happen.

Let me preface this that what I am describing is Webtop behavior - not necessarily DFS behavior.

When a document is created using webtop:

1. New object object is created with "_NEW_" version label added.
2. Object is checked out.
3. When user checks in the object, the "_NEW_" version label is removed.

When you create new version, whether its same, new minor, or new major, "_NEW_" version label does not get introduced ever again.

So what you are doing with DFS doesnt seem to follow the same behavior/events as normal Webtop.
