       You should be able to quickly check connectivity between nodes by
    doing (from the command line) "goto <label1>" and "goto <label2>".
    Also, you can select the paint under each label, in turn, and do
    "getnode".  Magic only considers one of the two labels (the global
    one, in your case) to be "definitive".  When asked for the network
    name (as in the "getnode" command), magic will always return the
    definitive name.  However, when told to do something with the network
    (as in the "goto" command), it will accept the name of any label
    attached to the network as an alias for the network name.

    Just send me the details.  I have not looked at iroute throughout all
    the recent development, so it doesn't really surprise me that it is
    broken.  Hopefully the fix is simple.
