Bloom: creating a Category does not list any Labels

Desktop version 1.4.12

A Perspective automatically created Categories for my node types. So far so good.

I click on Add category and give it a name. It's created with "0 labels". I click on Choose labels and get a search dialog. Typing anything in that search box yields "No results found".

I click on an existing Category and get the list of Property, Type, Exclude, and Caption. Above that is the same Choose labels which shows the same search dialog... same "No results found".

What am I missing here?
