It must be that newer NTFS just leave out creating the attribute when no volume name is set. I will add library support for this and make the ntfsprogs 1.9.1 release today. I wanted to test whether mkntfs created volumes really are bootable now before releasing 1.9.1 but that will just have to wait...
