[TxMt] Latex bundle: problem with label completion

[Piero D'Ancona]

I am using extensively the new label completion macro
which is really very good and fast. I have a problem though:
all my equation labels have the form \label{eq:labelname}
and the macro chokes on them. If I type

   labelname

then invoke the opt-esc shortcut and chose 1 i.e.
"label based on current word", I get

\\${1:eqref}{eq:labelname}

Clearly the colon is the problem. Any workaround,
apart from changing my label style (which is one
of the standard ones, however, used e.g. by Auctex)?

Thanks,
Piero
