I recall in my days with vSphere 4x that I had to rename a VM once. But, the associated vmdk/vmx, etc files and even the folder in the DataStore did not change. However, when I performed a vStorage Migration to another datastore with the VM also migrating to a new host , when it was completed....all sync'd up. or, that is how I recall it.
But, I am now told my my virtual coworker that renaming a VM and performing a vStorage migration along with migrating the VM to a new host WILL NOT Sync the naming and lables. is that correct? I'm almost positive it worked in vSphere 4.
This was behavior that was introduced in vSphere 5. It has since been resolved in Vcenter Server 5.0 Update 2 and 5.1 Update1. See the KB article I linked below:

Aha....many thanks. I was thinking I was going crazy. Glad to see it is working again.
