Now that after-receipt filtering works well, I would love to see the ability to
use labels as a part of my filter criteria.

So, another element should be added to the drop-down that starts with 'Subject':
Label

The condition drop-down should contain:

- is
- isn't

The Value section should be a drop-down:

- 0 None
- 1 Important
- 2 Work
- 3 Personal
- 4 To Do
- 5 Later

or whatever names have been assigned to the labels.

This will be useful for people, who use Post-read filters as a way of keeping
your inbox clean. If you want to keep a message that would normally be
'cleaned', setting a label could stop from moving the message. 

Reproducible: Always

Are you using IMAP? In that case this is a dupe of bug 192582. Filter on label
for POP _has_ been working for a long time, but it was removed because it "only"
made sense in the after the fact case. (I'm pretty certain there's a bug on
getting it back already filed as well - if you're not using IMAP this would be a
dupe of that.)
