no, you can't put the label into the branch view.

it would be p4 integrate -b newbranch @labelname

make sure you are doing this from a client that maps into the newbranch parts of the depot.

Thanks, that helps, but leads me to another question.

If a label can represent any arbitrary set of files and revisions (Perforce User's Manual, p55), then how do I choose, or why do I care what to put on the left side of the branch view when I'm branching from a label?

The files that are affected by the integration are the intersection of the label's view of the depot and the branch's view of the depot. Only files that are in both views will be in the newly-created branch.
