Winemakers are not allowed to lie, but the definition of truth depends on the regulatory structure. I am basically suggesting, given that wine is made under many different sets of regulations, that bottles could be a little clearer about what is meant by the varietal labels they carry.
For that matter, a few back label words about old world AC-type labelling would be useful too. Perhaps a URL with an explanation.
