I think there's some discrepancy in the non-default properties (namely, positioning) that may have been set in the forms for the labels in this class, under previous names. You may just go and reset them all to default, that should clean them out, i.e. force the controls to re-inherit from the class.

As for renaming back... backup and try. I usually stay away from renaming back... actually, I give them proper names when creating them, i.e. before there's ever any instance anywhere, so I don't have to do that. (How do I know this, then? Well, others' classes...)
