esttab label i. factor variable

I am having a strange issue where one version of Stata (14.1 on Mac) exhibits different behavior than another version (14.0 on PC). I run this code:

sysuse auto, clear
gen a = "abc"
replace a = "def" if _n>60
replace a = "ghi" if _n<15
encode a, gen(b)
eststo clear
eststo: reg price i.b 
esttab
esttab, label

The difference comes in what is displayed with the last line of code, esttab, label. On the map, the value labels appear. On the PC, the same labels as in the esttab appear - 1b.b, 2.b, 3.b as opposed to abc, def, ghi as on the Mac.

How can I get the PC version to exhibit the same behavior as the Mac. Are there any alternative approaches to be used?
