Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I failed to reproduce the issue. I took a jammy VM and added a label to the boot device:

```
sudo tune2fs -L somelabel /dev/vda3
```

Configured fstab to look for the label:

```
$ grep -w / /etc/fstab | grep -v ^#
LABEL=somelabel / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
```

and successfully updated the initrd:

```
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.5.0-35-generic
```

I checked the call from `resolve_device`:

```
$ blkid -l -t LABEL=somelabel -o device
/dev/vda3
```

Can you let mkinitramfs run with `set -x` to get some log messages?
