Bill Dupont <[email protected]> reported that the
-xmlabel( , nolabels)- option to -graph twoway- was not honored when a -by()-
option was also specified. He gave the example,

There is a longish story here about how much -by()- should be able to take
over control of the axes, but since the complete ability to do that was not
built into the syntax of -graph , by()- the point is somewhat moot. Suffice
it to say that I too think this is a bug and -graph , by()- has been changed
so that it will honor the [no]labels and [no]ticks suboptions of
{x|y}[m]label().
The change will appear in the next ado update. Until then, Bill's suggested
work-around of using -xmtick()- rather than -xmlabel(, nolabel)- will work, at
least from the command line.
