"moneyface emoticons with elven ears" are by design; specifically, it's by
*Apple*'s design.  The ABMultiValue<T>.Label value corresponds to
ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(), which returns the "moneyface emoticons" string:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AddressBook/Reference/ABMultiValueRef_iPhoneOS/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007098

If you want to translate the "moneyface emoiticon" string into a end-user
usable string, use ABAddressBook.LocalizedLabel():

http://go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=M:MonoTouch.AddressBook.ABAddressBook.LocalizedLabel(MonoTouch.Foundation.NSString)

The reason for this is localization: you may be running under a
Japanese-localized app, so checking the localized label value against "Mobile"
will be an exercise in futility, while checking against the "monkeyface
emoticon" value known as ABPersonPhoneLabel.Mobile will work properly under all
localizations:

http://go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=P:MonoTouch.AddressBook.ABPersonPhoneLabel.Mobile
