Yes, I think this is the way it is.  \ref needs to look at a
counter.  This happens by default only with enumerated items
having no custom label.

On the other hand, if one makes a customized list using the
list environment, then \usecounter provides a way of
attaching a counter.

BTW, the handling of \ref in GELLMU is completely detached
from regular LaTeX's handling because the source passes
through an XML stage and there needs to be a way for cross
references and numbering to work through that and then
across the different output formats.  Suffice it to say that
every label belongs to a series that has an attached
counter.  See
