Hint: this only happens with using the Label value of an object (Cube). When using its internal name (in this case "Box") it works correctly.

The same problem still exists in 0.17.

This happens because the GUI tries to assign e.g 'Cube' to the second object when it is created. This in turn triggers a relabelObject signal, and the expression engine happily renames the expression when the GUI changes the label because duplicate labels are not allowed (before this happens there are two object with the label 'Cube'; this is why it can be renamed to Cube001; not sure why this is so predictable, though).

Not sure how to fix this, because I also found another thing that probably should be looked into first: The "Allow duplicate label" handling is done in the Gui part of FreeCAD. Shouldn't this really be in the App part?

True, since ObjectLabelObserver anyway only accesses App stuff this class could be moved to FreeCADApp.
