[R] cutree() and rect.hclust(): different labelling of classes

I've found that while cutree() and rect.hclust() make the same classes
for a given height in the dendrogram, the actual labeling of the classes 
is different. For example, both produce the same 4 classes but
class 1 according to cutree() is class 4 according to rect.hclust().
Would it be possible that future versions provide the same labeling?
rect.hclust() is useful to display the classes over the dendrogram but
the output from cutree() is often more handy.
Thanks
Agus
