I figured out a super-easy way of doing this, without having to mess around with labels.

This will move a snippet from one track to another. I'm assuming you have two tracks: One with the mistake, and one recorded next to it that contains the fix.

• Select a region containing only the fix
• ctrl-alt-X to split-cut
• 'enter' to deselect the track with the fix (the selected region should still show up on the time-scale)
• up/down to navigate to the track that needs fixing
• 'enter' to select that track
• ctrl-V to paste
  
  Done!

Even easier, this will copy a snippet from one track to another:

• Select a region containing only the fix
• ctrl-C to copy
• up/down to navigate to the track that needs fixing
• 'enter' to (also) select that track
• ctrl-V to paste
  
  Done!

You can also do this with 'shift-click' on the tracks' info box to select/deselect them. (Its info box is the region at the left which contains the mute/solo buttons, level sliders, etc.)

You are absolutely correct - but why bother moving / copying everything to the same track? Audacity has multi-track capability, so why not use it?
