Here's my guess!
When you are contour filling you cannot see the contour labels anyway!
IDL is confused by the request for labels which will be invisible.
As an example, try the following...
Example 1: contour, dist(20), /follow, /cell_fill, /xs, /ys
Example 2: contour, dist(20), /cell_fill, /xs, /ys
Notice the first example asks for line labeling, and the cell_fill
option goes ignored, whereas the second example gets cell_filled, but
there are, of course, no line labels. For example 2, and for your
problem, use /over to get the line labels. For example 2 one could add...
contour, dist(20), /over, /follow, color=1 ;Choose a visible color entry
