Wierd partition behaviour with BTRFS

(Sorry for the subject line but it's the best I could come up with)
I recently installed F20 on a new system with a 120GB SSD and 1TB hard
drive. I'm using the SSD for /, /boot, /var and swap, and the hard drive
for /home. I decided to live on the edge and partition /home as BTRFS.
All this was done from Anaconda with no subsequent changes except adding
a few labels.
This is what I find:
$ lsblk --fs
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT
sda
├─sda1 ext4 boot 6d5929d8-fd35-49e6-a8bf-aab5309dad77 /boot
├─sda2 btrfs fedora_pxeclient-arch-00000-undi-002001-d4-3d-7e-f4-1b-08 22fecad3-619d-4a9b-aace-35a2e4e04c49 /home
├─sda3 ext4 root 6a9a800c-309b-4b69-b269-884ad495e7b9 /
├─sda4
├─sda5 ext4 var d5955869-af07-4d6e-b1b3-6ccb31208b41 /var
└─sda6 swap 1431e6d2-531e-46cd-8633-1cf878c6b2a1 [SWAP]
sdb
└─sdb1 btrfs fedora_pxeclient-arch-00000-undi-002001-d4-3d-7e-f4-1b-08 22fecad3-619d-4a9b-aace-35a2e4e04c49
Note that /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb1 have the same UUID and label.
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 68G 8.5G 56G 14% /
devtmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.9G 5.6M 7.8G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.9G 1.1M 7.9G 1% /run
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 7.9G 72K 7.9G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda1 477M 113M 335M 26% /boot
/dev/sda5 27G 1.8G 24G 7% /var
/dev/sda2 932G 73G 858G 8% /home
Note that /dev/sda2 is mounted and /dev/sdb1 is not. However /dev/sda2
has around 1TB of space, so it's clearly the hard drive.
What's going on, and should I be worried?
Also, how can I change the label of the BTRFS partition? I used the
"btrfs filesystem label ..." command but although it registers the
change, the existing fedora_pxeclient.... label still shows up
in /dev/disk/by-label.
