That is one of the reasons I choose to configure in the GPO and hide it.

hiding the SSID could prevent Joe Casually Curious from trying to
connect from his machine an THEN deciding to look for wireless cracking tools.
The PCI remark makes sense to me - broadcast it but use a not-so-relevant name.

I hide the SSID's that are auto-configured by GPO. No point in broadcasting
them and cluttering up the list the user would see.
