So... I cannot add a text option to my product right out of the box.
BUT... if I go to Catalog>Option Name Manager> and create a "fake" option name, and then create a value that is NOT a text option (eg checkbox, radio, etc) THEN when I go to Attributes controller, I can add my text box to my product.
That is why I am saying that if a "fake" or "example" attribute were added to the core sql, then this would not happen unless someone goes in and removes the "example" one.
I have no clue if other versions other than 1.5.5 are this way. I only tested 1.5.5
Hope that is clearer than mud!
PS - Linda let me know if you need access to my install and I will pm it to you.
