So my technique of setting showname to false if the text is empty is the
only way round this?

Also, you can have a label for an option menu with empty text. Try setting
the text of an option menu to empty, then use the message box to set its
label to some value.

With the OS X HIGs not nearly as complete as they used to be I can no longer find the relevant section on this, but I believe most HIGs suggest that we avoid giving the user the impression the control may be broken by replacing empty items with some explanation of why it's empty, or perhaps a disabled item simply saying "None".
