Hi,
This is not a serious bug, but something that strikes me as odd. When I try to assign a pointer label in ProcessFlow it works as expected when the target is an object, e.g.
But when the target node is not an object, just a 'regular' node, the result is NULL:
It's looking for the value of the node when it's not an object. If you want to use a pointer (in case you rename or relocate the node) then you must use another node with pointer data that points to the target and reference that node instead.
Update - scrub that it doesn't work either. Example attached.

Looking briefly at the code, this seems to be by design. I'll add an issue to the dev list to investigate, but the code I was looking at is super old and gets used in lots of places. The most likely outcome is that we determine not to change anything. My guess is that this bug-like behavior here is also a feature in some other circumstance.
