I'm not sure what your underlying problem is, but I can confirm that the
volume label for a partition has no influence on shares or the operation of
Browse Masters.

A browse master will retain the names of servers that the BM learned from
advertisements sent by the servers. Each name is retained for a certain
period, even if the server is switched off (can be up to around an hour).
