>>>It works, sort of. Most of the time, when I test, any two-digit labels (there's nothing more than 2 digits) start out to the left of where they should be and when the form repaints (which happens based on other things going on in the app), shift to the right into the right position.

So, it wasn't that simple, but I combined this with Jim's suggestion about "kicking" the width and now it's working. (Actually, since I was computing the width anyway, I just turned off AutoSize for the label and set it manually.)
