There seems to be a clean fix, edit it just one time for dconf and one
time for gconf.

I don't know, but I guess what you read by

  dconf read /org/gnome/evolution/mail/labels > label.txt

could be written by

  dconf write /org/gnome/evolution/mail/labels "$(cat label.txt)"

$ man dconf | head -n11 | grep KEY
       dconf read KEY
       dconf write KEY VALUE

For gconf you perhaps just need to restore from a media
  
  cp -rf /mnt/point/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/labels $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/

I wouldn't test it on a production environment, add a test user to a
gconf and to a dconf machine.
