Description:
In the Layer Tree box, select a layer. Delete the name of the layer. Click anywhere. Unhandled exception message.

How to repeat:
See above

Suggested fix:
Handle the exception with a message saying a layer must be named or a blank layer name is not allowed.

I couldn't repeat on Windows Vista X86_64.

I also do not get exception on 32-bit XP SP3, but it means empty layer name is accepted, and this is still wrong.

Fixed in repository. Actually, renaming entries in the layer tree is now disabled. The object editor is the way to go.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.23 changelog:

In the Layer Tree panel, if a layer was given a blank name, then MySQL Workbench subsequently crashed, rather than warning about the use of a blank name.
