I do already have the same file system automounted elsewhere. Is that causing the problem?

Yes, the context= mount must be applied on the first mount of the filesystem or it has no effect.

By the way, can mount point labels be applied to automounted file systems? If so, how would I do that? Would I put the label into the automount file (auto.*) in the /etc directory?

You can specify mount options in your automounter maps (like auto.master), so you should be able to specify a context= option there too. I haven't specifically tried it though.
