You're right. That's unsupported. But to me it looks as you could cheat by using an empty <PropertyName/>:

<TextSymbolizer><Label>This static text will be displayed<PropertyName/></Label></TextSymbolizer>

I guess a basic implementation wouldn't be too hard to implement. But many elements of symbology encoding map to se:ParameterValueType which is a mixture of text nodes and ogc:expressions and this is generally not very well supported. I'd guess this needs huge reworking on both parser and engine...

So, to get at least the simple cases supported you might want to file a ticket.
