How do I describe a button that only says '...'?
You describe it as a bug which must be fixed.

I'll file one.

Ccing to the usability list -- does the HIG say
anything about this? Should it?

Yes, it should probably say "don't have buttons
without proper labels on them" :)

I've filed a bug against the HIG for this.

I think having a stock label for "Browse..." might
help
encourage developers not to cut corners

I think for the keyboard model button, "Choose..."
might be better. But maybe that's because I associate
"Browse..." with something involving a file.
