Does the accessible name show up in Accerciser?

I'm not clear on what the expected semantics are between label and name
for an accessible control like a spinbox, but it appears Orca is
*supposed* to read the label if present, the name if not. But as far as
I can tell, for spinboxes at least, this isn't happening - if the label
is missing, nothing is read even if there is a name. Is this a bug, or
am I misunderstanding something or doing something wrong?
Also - really, I'd generally rather have the name read - the label might
require additional visual context to make sense (although I recognize I
can connect multiple labels). It looks like maybe there is some
facility override some internal function to control which takes
precedence, but I can't quite work out how to make this happen.
