That doesn't work for me on Win XP. Cursor stays in the label. Looks
like the label "handles" (ignores) the up/down arrows. If the some
portion of the label track is selected, but you haven't clicked in a
label, up/down arrows work.

Tab is "next", shift-tab is "prev". For some reason, "no label" is part
of the cycle, i.e., if you have 3 labels, click in one, tab 3 times,
then none is selected. Also, looks like spanning labels are handled
differently in tab order than point labels.
