A system capable of determining to put a device in /var/run/media/<username> is surely capable of appending [2,3,*] or <username> or bus## if and when another device with an identical label is being mounted to a different USB bus ID. /var/run/ is not a place where mere mortal users should be looking for anything, much less files on a stick just plugged. If <username> is going to be part of the mountpoint name, why not /home/<username>/media/<label>?

The reason might be that /var/run is a tmpfs.
Of what significance is that?
Same reason for all the other files in /run - so that you do not have directories/files lingering around when you have a hard power off. All this has been thought through already.
