I think that this is a very valuable line of analysis, but unfortunately, labelling something as a "fallacy" is very black and white given that different people will consider different items to be central or non-central.

Would you say Yvain is commiting the Noncentral Fallacy by labeling it as a fallacy?

Labeling Noncentral Fallacy a "fallacy" is a noncentral case of Noncentral Fallacy, so calling said labeling an example of Noncentral Fallacy would be an example of Noncentral Fallacy.
