mkfs.vfat -n 'label' puts it at offset 43, but it seems that Windows doesn't any
more and just creates a VFAT entry with the 'Voluem Label' type (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table).

'sudo blkid /dev/sda*' should figure out the volume label as well, but since you
already gave me the label in hex, that should be fine.

I just tried with a clean UTF-8 volume label, and
hal/gnome-volume-mangager/nautilus/gnome-vfs works fine with that.
