Contour labels are not currently implemented for contours
generated from IrregularSets. To get labels, you'll need
to resample to a GriddedSet. This isn't as bad as it sounds,
if the GriddedSet has high enough resolution.
I'll bet Tom Rink would enjoy the challenge of implementing
labels for contours from IrregularSets (he did such a great
job for the new contour labels for GriddedSets), if someone
can pay for the work (VisAD is free, but writing it isn't).

We often face this sort of event problem in writing our
applications. The easiest approach is to set a flag when
you swap in new data, and then have the pick doAction()
ignore the first pick event after the flag is set (and
of course clear the flag, so it doesn't ignore events
forever).
