OK, here's what I do, starting with a blank document:
. Bring up View -> Color Definitions...
. Select Pantone Uncoated library
. Select Pantone 164 CVU
. I now see Ink name: Pantone 164 CVU, Print as spot, and M:47, Y:76
. Edit the color to C:50, M:100, rest 0
. I now see Ink name: None, print as spot

I.e. FrameMaker has, quite properly, dropped the ink name, because I've change
its spec.
. Format a body para with the synthetic 'Pantone', print to Ps, distill
. Preflight: plates = 5, C M Y K, Pantone 164.
However, the PDF *does* seem to specify the Pantone plate correctly, so maybe
I'm worrying unnecessarily. The presence of the C M and Y plates in a PDF with
one word in Pantone is something I've hit before, but I can't for the moment
remeber the fix.

Yup.
