You have to set the labels yourself using gpart(8).
Maybe this is how the installer configured them? It's
certainly valid to have no label, which is what (null)
is.
I have to confess that when I ran away from systemd
about 7 years ago I had little to no interest in
gpart partition labels. But in the last year or two
I finally groked the underlying idea and now I am pretty
careful to make them and keep them up-to-date. I guess I
was default highly allergic to messing around with partition
tables, but gpart has been really smooth.
Warren Block's disk setup page helped me see the light:
