It is not a problem of ae vs lmodern vs cm, not even with default
fonts it is working. It is a problem of envlab not even the simplest 
document works:
\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{envlab}
\makelabels
\begin{document}
\startlabels
\mlabel{Bla bla}{utf8: ö}
\end{document}

This is also not fixed with TL2009, so it might be useful to forward 
that to the author of the envlabl package. Since the package was last
touched around 1997 I would not expect too much, and better suggest
using a different package for label making, or trying to fix it
yourself, this is unfortunately out of our abilities.

Best wishes
