The logic can be guessed: Stata tries not to make a mess on purpose, but
you are totally at liberty to do that if you want. More prosaically, the
calculation of where the marker labels should be is, I imagine, more
difficult if the markers vary in size.

Here's a funny little feature. [G] states, "Weights are ignored when
the mlabel() option is specified." So
scatter y x [fw=sample], ms(oh) mlab(sample) mlabpos(c)
made a graph with symbols all the same size.
The logic isn't obvious, as the symbols and labels can be overlaid quite
easily ...
scatter y x [fw=sample], ms(oh) mcol(gs12) legend(off) || scatter y x,
ms(i) mlab(sample) mlabpos(c) mlabsize(tiny) mlabcol(gs6)
