I have not been able to find any documentation which describes the
precise placement of the first character of text for a label call.

The only reference I find is in plot(4):
     t	label:	Place the following ASCII string so that its
	first character	falls on the current point.  The string
	is terminated by a new-line.

Some code seems to assume that the upper left corner of the character
cell will be on the current point, others the lower left corner, and
others assume that the current point is at the center of the charcter
cell.  Which is right?

  For a data graphing project, I had to make labels at times as well. Our
package here on medusa.cs.purdue.edu (SequentSymmetry on Dynix) puts a label
up and to the right of the last point plotted. You can control it using the m
instruction (I've been doing a lot of writing plot scripts by hand to see what
happens). Maybe there are many dozens of different versions of the plot(1)
command. Remember, man pages get passed on, and that one for plot(5) is not the
most specific I've ever seen ;)
