uiDefAutoButR (or actually uiDefButR_prop > ui_def_but_rna later
down the line) has this behavior when "" string is passed in, it will
not display text on or next to the button.
This is of course desired in most scenarios -- it might even be desired
for non-icon enums in certain cases (though this is already a bit harder
to find cases for), so changing behavior in said functions is probably
not what we want.

The behavior - from the dopsheet sliders - would seem like a bug though.

Passing NULL (instead of "") to uiDefAutoButR results in properly
displaying the chosen item on the dropdown for enums, but for other
property types it would then show the property ui name alongside the
button (which is not what we want in the dopsheet, UI names are already
drawn there separately).

So now, pass "" or NULL conditionally (depending on property type
PROP_ENUM).

While the change seems fine, there is another call to uiDefAutoButR (the first instance in this function), could you check if the same change should be applied there too, if not, comment why the check for enum is needed here but nowhere else in this function.

If this is about the case ANIMTYPE_NLACURVE, I think these are the NLA control curves (and are always float - never enum)?

It's just an RNA path, so it could be any type AFAICS, but I couldn't see how to run the ANIMTYPE_NLACURVE code path. Since it only runs when renaming, it doesn't seem as likely to be as much as a problem as #109198, although it would be good to verify this.
