No, that's why SheepShaver converts it. Here are the steps, to make it clear:

 1. I start SheepShaver, and start my old app within SheepShaver.
 2. Copy to clipboard.
 3. Switch to Snow Leopard's TextEdit, hit Paste.
 4. I get my image, with the original bitmap image and the label text
nicely rendered below it.

Somewhere in the process (SheepShaver and/or TextEdit) it has turned
the PICT, including the label text, into a TIFF image.

The text is there because something in the Carbon libraries is making
it happen. But it we use that stand-alone PICT conversion library
instead of Carbon, the text label would be missing.
