Not really, because I could not reproduce that. The problem I have,
which is solved by this patch is the case when you have label_alt_force
set to FALSE (0) and not to TRUE (1).

What this patch fixes are three issues:

"label_alt" was not being used if field "label" has empty value
(label_alt_force = 0)

* when using label_alt + label_alt_force and we have an field "label"
with empty value, we get an extra "," at the beginning of the string: fixed

* process label information with t3lib_BEfunc::getProcessedValue, which
will return a "time" or the value of a select-field instead of a
unixtime or an integer.

I just tested it, and this is a +1 from me. Make sure you find and close
the appropriate bug reports on that matter, I am sure there are several.
