Tested on latest 'release-1_7' branch.

Seems to me this is only with old labelling, not with the new one. Do you confirm?

#3
Updated by Gerhard Spieles about 1 year ago

Yes, I can confirm this. It is only using the old labeling in layers properties.

A similar problem occurs in this case:
If the layer is structured in layer properties, "style", "rule based" or "categorized", no label of the joined table is displayed in the map.

I experienced a similar behaviour.
I have a DXF added as layer, I joined a table, I used a joined field as label size (properties - label - advanced) and it works fine; on saving exiting and repoening the project, the join was saved but label settings for size field is lost. W7 with QGIS Master 3a2c0e9.
