Kudos, Wayne and Gabriel!    I've been adding the slice label by hand all along and didn't think to ask for the change.

You can do this if you upgrade to the latest ImageJ daily build (1.51b19). When using Image>Duplicate, the title of the resulting image is automatically derived from the slice label. To provide backward compatibility, the recorder generates

     run("Duplicate...", "use");

where ‘use' indicates that the slice label is to be used. Previous versions of ImageJ generated

     run("Duplicate...", " ");

which uses the stack name plus “-n” as the suggested title of the resulting image.
