[core] fix 'Bad label' errors with empty labels 
* Only happens on Win7 due to MinGW not automatically initializing variables to zero on that platform.
* Root of the problem was that GetWindowTextU() did not properly handle empty text controls, due to
  GetWindowTextW() returning 0 on empty strings. As a result, the UTF-8 label was not properly set to
  the empty string, but kept whatever data it contained, which is garbage on Windows 7 and resulted in
  an invalid label (even after sanitizing, since we don't sanitize low-level ASCII characters).
* Closes #1352
