 I don't understand where you see a problem. 
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/1.2/html/x224.html says that you 
set _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME only if it differs from WM_NAME/_NET_WM_NAME. Since 
it doesn't differ in BlackBox, you don't have to set it, and pagers etc. will 
fall back to _NET_WM_NAME/WM_NAME. What is the thing you find misleading?
