No, but I do get the same thing for a partition that does not have a
drive letter assigned - all the partitions that are assigned show the
drive letter in the "Add" window.

On mine here, the drive letter is shown in the right side box with the
drive label and drive type (FAT32, NTFS, etc.).
 
Do you by chance have any of the tweak tools and is there maybe
a setting there that controls this?  Not sure why anyone would want
to specifically not show the drive letter that is mapped tho.
