create issue + set new labels + no push access = fatal error, but the labels should be silently ignored

Bug

Body

the github API docs for create an issue say:

labels
array
Labels to associate with this issue.
NOTE: Only users with push access can set labels for new issues.
Labels are silently dropped otherwise.

this part is interesting:

Labels are silently dropped otherwise.

because when i try to create a new issue (with new labels)
in a repo where i have no push access
then the request fails with HTTP status 403 forbidden

message: You do not have permission to create labels on this repository.
documentation_url: https://docs.github.com/v3/issues/labels/

new labels, as in: the labels do not-yet exist in the repo

as i understand the docs

NOTE: Only users with push access can set labels for new issues.
Labels are silently dropped otherwise.

the API should just ignore all labels
when i try to create an issue in a repo where i have no push access
no matter if these labels exist in the repo or not
no matter if i am trying to create new labels or trying to use existing labels

the API should be less strict here
