Comment(by mikeschinkel):

 Just ran into this problem myself.  Took a while to figure out that it
 wasn't a bug and was designed this way because it gave no feedback.

 (Personal pet peeve: "Grayed-out and disabled '''''anything''''' because
 even though the grayed-out tells the user they can't do something it
 doesn't tell them why not or how to fix it. I'd much prefer to see nothing
 grayed-out (or at least nothing disabled) and to instead have it when
 click to launch a pop-up that explains why the user can't do whatever and
 that tells them how to fix it.  But I digress...)

 Anyway, here's a good reference on why this use-case is important (I know,
 Jane already blessed it, but this is still a good reference):
