Regression: Jammy to Noble, set_label no longer functions

[theofficialgman]

[ Impact ]

In ubuntu jammy and previous releases, set_label can be used to set the text to display instead of an appindicator icon. In ubuntu noble set_label no longer functions at all.
https://gjs-docs.gnome.org/appindicator301~0.1/appindicator3.indicator#method-set_label

[ Test Case ]

- Download the test indicator and its dependencies:
  * wget https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/blob/master/indicator-test-tool/testTool.js
  * apt install gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1

- Run the test indicator:
  gjs -m testTool.js

- Ensure the indicator icon shows up (it has an ubuntu icon)
- Click on it and activate the "Set Label" item
- A random numeric label should show next to the icon

[ Regression potential ]

The icon is not visible anymore

I installed the 58-1 version of gnome-shell-extension-appindicator from noble-proposed and rebooted and can confirm that I now see the label on an appindicator (indicator-sensors in this case) as expected.
