Token Nameplate breaks if moved to DM layer

Not sure if this is an actual bug or if I am doing something wrong. If I create a token on the token layer, give it a name, and check the box to display the name, no problem. Then if I move the token to the DM layer, the name disappears. I'd like the name to stay, but what is more worrisome is that moving the token back to the token layer doesn't re-enable name visibility. In fact it seems that a token that has ever been on the DM layer cannot display the name, even if the box is checked? Or am I doing something incorrectly?

Kelly, have confirmed what you stated. None of the extra information (bars, auras, and name) shows up in the GM layer. I also found that the bars, auras, and name are all missing when the token returns to the token layer. But, I found that if you move the token even once it all returns. - Gauss
Ah hah, that worked for me too! I never thought to move the token, haha! Thanks very much!

This is already a fixed bug in the next update. Sorry that you've re-discovered it :-) Also, the "nameplate" is considered part of the token overlay (as are the status markets, bars, etc.), and right now the overlay does not show up on the GM Layer. Although maybe it should?
Having the nameplate visible on the DM layer would help me keep track of building markers in cities. For instance, I'd like to drop a token on the map for each important building, with a nameplate (Bright-Stone Tavern, for example). Keeping this on the DM layer lets me see where the buildings are before the players see it, and when they learn the location of the building I can drop the (correct) token to the visible layer. It's not show-stopping to not have this feature, but it's a nice to have.
