In this case, that is, when you use .item() with a name, it is behaving in the same way as .itemByName().

In either case, if the collection in question is of objects that have a name, then you will get the first object found with that name (and only the first object), but if the objects have no name but do have a label, then you'll get the collection of such objects that share that label. [The difference is the result of the label feature being added later and the name behavior already being ingrained -- I'm inclined to think that the name behavior warrants changing, although it doesn't come up very often that named objects can have the same names -- off the top of my head, the only possibilities are: documents, libraries, book, and assets in libraries.]

In those cases where an object my have both a name and a label, the name behavior wins.
