The standard does define that behavior: Using a label that is not
associated with an element of the right type is a syntax error.

What we are not doing correctly is that DROP LABEL should either
RESTRICT if a view exists or CASCADE, as appropriate.

So there is room for improvement, but I'm not too bothered by the
current behavior. You get a clear error message and nothing incorrect
happens.
