Robert, Since it works for you, I tried it again and this time the $noname was replaced by the footprint name in the netlist. Maybe I did something wrong the first time I tried it.
In your experience, the .CMP file generated by CVPCB was not needed by PCBNEW?

I don't know why it's not working for you though, as I didn't have to do anything special.
