You'll have to check with the developer of the C# implementation for support, but it appears that this code is the initialization of the member to the default value. My guess is the implementation's code generator looks up the enum name of the default value, and assumes that the default value is zero if none is specified. Since you don't have an enum value with numeric value zero defined, it returns an empty symbol. Try explicitly adding a default value?
