Martyn,

I presume you mean file an enhancement issue to allow Export
Multiple to use multiple label tracks in some way to be decided
(possibly with a feature to mute/disable label tracks for purposes
of Export Multiple)? That seems to be the consensus so far, and 
to handle the current problem with a rewording of the Export
Multiple error dialogue (partly done already). 

@ Steve: I would envisage any mute/disable of label tracks would
not be a way to remove them from the group, only from Export  
Multiple. You may well want all the label tracks in the group, but 
just to exclude one of the label tracks from Export Multiple. So any 
means to take label (or audio) tracks out of groups would be 
separate.
