Initial Comment:
if you only ask for the node labels for an object with no node labels you get a character vector of length 0 if you only ask for the node labels, but get a vector of 'NA' if you ask for 'allnode'. It seems to me that it's not coherent. Any opinions?

 [1] "fuliginosa"   "fortis"       "magnirostris" "conirostris"  "scandens"    
 [6] "difficilis"   "pallida"      "parvulus"     "psittacula"   "pauper"      
[11] "Platyspiza"   "fusca"        "Pinaroloxias" "olivacea"     NA            
[16] NA             NA             NA             NA             NA            
[21] NA             NA             NA             NA             NA            
[26] NA             NA

Message:
I don't see why this is a problem.
If you ask for "all" then you obviously have to
have a placeholder for the node labels, right?
