Of course, there is nothing wrong here.  It makes no sense to have an empty
material.  It is just a container, not a property by itself.

See "6.5.9.3 Material" <http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/174/> for
details.

#declare myMaterial = { texture { pigmemt { bozo } finish { phong .5 }
normal {crackle } interior {ior 1.5 } }

default { material { myMaterial } }

That would be new feature, wouldn't it?

10.1.4.4 Default Texture
Specify a default texture, pigment, normal or finish: 
DEFAULT_DIRECTIVE: 
    #default { DEFAULT_ITEM } 
DEFAULT_ITEM: 
    PLAIN_TEXTURE | PIGMENT | NORMAL | FINISH
