Upon re-reading it does appear confusing, as you point out. 
How does replacing "interactive content" with "hyperlink" make it any clearer? 

I am inclined to agree that the meaning is clearer without the second sentence
and either remove the second sentence or be more prescriptive about expected
behaviour when a label contains mulitiple controls.

<label><input type="text"> <input type="text"> test</label>

note in the example above clicking on the label causes focus to be placed on
the first input in browser i tested (in firefox/IE/chrome on windows)
