FM12 bug - updating File Info

I just discovered a minor but annoying bug in FM12 with the File Info
feature, under the File menu.
If you have a book with some chapters, the book file and the chapters can
have File Info, a set of 8 bits of metadata like Title, Subject, Keywords,
etc. Each chapter can have its own File Info, and the Book can have File
Info.
File Info carries through to PDFs Properties and the title appears in
search results if you publish to HTML5.
Here's the bug: If you have any value at all in the title field, then you
can bulk-update it to another title via File > Import >  Formats Document
Properties. You can also delete the title. But you cannot bulk update an
existing title to no title, or to a space. One you have a title, you
apparently must always have a title, or else delete it one at a time, file
by file.
