Yes, I see what you mean. We did think of that back when we were first troubleshooting, and simply changing the option to rh on the Design tab did not solve the problem (I just checked again and it still points to lh). So it looks like unless you actually run an analysis from the design tab, the 'Map to All Subjects' option points to the lh. Thank you for helping us solve this problem!

When working with a manually loaded surface, and a new rh label is drawn
or a prior one loaded, prior to pressing the 'Map to All Subjects
Option', do you switch the hemi menu selection in the Design tab to
'rh'?  I'm guessing not, because it is not evident that you would need
to do this, but it explains the problem you are seeing.  In my own past
usage of qdec, I havent run the use case you described, so until now I
didnt anticipate this problem.  The problem is that when loading a
surface or label, there is no step or pop-up box or mechanism to tell
qdec which surface it is loading.  I suppose it could infer it from the
name (parse-out 'rh' or 'lh), but that is kind of hacky.  What I need to
add is a pop-up box or some user interface gate that forces the user to
set the hemisphere.  Otherwise, qdec just default to 'lh'.  So until
that feature is added, you will just have to remember to goto the Design
tab and set the hemi to whatever was loaded.
