Isn't the <xforms:copy> element meant for this case? See
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-xforms-20031014/index-all.html#ui-adv-copy

I don't know if XSLTForms supports the <xforms:copy> element.

I'm not sure if this works (or even should work) for <xf:itemset> 
labels, but it surely works for <xf:output> labels, at least in Chiba.

<xf:label><xf:output value="concat(aatams:installation/aatams:station/aatams:name,'-',aatams:receiver/aatams:code_name,'-',aatams:deployment_date 
)"/></xf:label>
