To follow up on this, what is the benefit of automatically generating
labels for frames?  How can these be used?  I mean, I have no way of
knowing what the actual label is that is being generated.  If I want to
refer to a slide elsewhere, I will need to specify the label myself.  

I would be curious to know if anybody makes use of these automatic
labels?  If not, it may be simplest to apply the patch I posted
yesterday which removes the automatic generation of frame labels.

Of course, whether the label is automatically generated or specified by
me, having a label still breaks beamer functionality when it comes to
automatic frame breaks.  I have filed a bug report for beamer on this,
as you suggested.

Thanks again,
eric
