If we do both goto and labeled breaks you can get your expected 
behaviour with:

label:
while(condition) {
     goto label;
}

right? Using break in the un-expected way together with goto gives you 
both options.

FWIW (And that's probably not much ;) ) my vote would be:

1) 1 (goto and break label)
2) 0
3) 0
4) 0
