Yeah, that error is correct. The spec says that an empty option element without
an a label attribute is a document-conformance error.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/forms.html#attr-option-label
"The label content attribute, if specified, must not be empty. If the attribute
is not specified, then the element itself must not be empty."

That part of the spec isn't giving document-conformance requirements. It's
instead specifying required user-agent behavior.

That's not what that part of the spec is saying.
