It is a "feature" - the manual and help both tell you it will happen.
You can still get labels and weights together by overlaying two scatter
plots, e.g.
twoway (scatter price mpg [fweight=weight]) ///
(scatter price mpg, ms(i) mlabel(make)), legend(off)

Subject: st: Weighted scatterplot with -mlabel-
Dear Statalisters
I am trying to produce a weighted scatterplot which includes labels for
each point. But when I use the -msymbol- option, the weighting seems to
be removed. A silly example:
sysuse auto
scatter price mpg [fweight=weight]
scatter price mpg [fweight=weight], mlabel(make)
The first scatter command weights the points, the second does not. Is
this behaviour a "bug" or a "feature", or am I missing something
obvious?
I am using Stata/SE 9.2 for Windows
