Bug Description
KiCad version: v4.0.4 using community Arch Linux packages.
## Problem Description
If two wires cross over each other without a junction, the wires remain unconnected as expected.
If a label is placed with its origin at the location where the wires cross over, then both nets are assigned the net name by the label.
ERC does not catch this.
## Expected behavior
ERC error indicating an ambiguous label assignment. If intentional, add a junction at the intersection. If unintentional, shift the label or wires one position.

Where is the bug?
If a label is common to 2 wires, it connects these 2 wires.
This is not a bug, but a user mistake.
