I'd just heat it up, unstick it, and rotate it 180° if it mattered to me.

Considering the faulty lacing pattern, if the front wheel is laced the same way, all you will need to do is take the front skewer out and put it in the other side and turn the front wheel around. That will take care of the sticker problem.
