I can see this being useful -- you would be able to create a chart
with several series and toggle the visibility of different series by
using a formula for the cell with the series name, and having this
toggle between #N/A! and the series title depending on other cells'
values.

IMHO this would be a bad idea, using error values for data values
makes it easy to have null data points and even null data series; this
could make the series vanish entirely.

What's the difference between this and option 2?  For 3 do you mean no
valid data AND an invalid series name?

This is simple and I don't think there is much wrong with it.
