Label List Vertical Text Alignment

I have a LabelList of buttons and have a focusBitmapURI png file for the button shape/color.  I'm trying to get the text that displays on top of the focusBitmapURI to be vertically centered.  When I print out the UserButtons  (see code below) in the debug console, there clearly is a field for vertTextAlign, which I'm setting to "center", but this has no effect on the vertical alignment of the text over the focused button.  No matter what I do, the text remains "top" aligned.

Below is the XML code for the LabelList component.

    <!-- Control buttons (Button List) -->
    <LabelList
      id="UserButtons"
      translation="[1440,480]"
      color="0x23ecd7FF"
      focusedColor="0x333333FF"
      textVertAlign = "center"
      focusBitmapUri="pkg:/images/rokubutton300x35.9.png"
      numRows="7"
      font="font:MediumBoldSystemFont"
      focusedFont="font:MediumBoldSystemFont"
      vertFocusAnimationStyle="floatingFocus"
      itemSpacing="[0,20]"
      itemSize="[300, 35]" />


In BrightScript I assign the buttons their text with this code:
  for each button in ["My Profile","Change User","Add New User","Delete User" ,"OK"]
    result.push({title : button})
  end for
  m.buttons.content = ContentList2SimpleNode(result)


I fetch the UserButtons component in the screen init() function as follows:
  m.buttons = m.top.findNode("UserButtons")


Printing m.buttons in the debug console yields this printout:

Any help on where I'm amiss here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
