When programmode is false, solve doesn't always generate the %tX labels. For example,:

OK

(%i1)   block([programmode : false], solve([x=1,y=9],[x,y]));
Solution:
(%t1)   x=1
(%t2)   y=9
(%o2)   [[%t1,%t2]]

Not OK---doesn't genrate the %tX lables

(%i1)   block([programmode : false], solve([x=1,y^2=9],[x,y]));
(%o1)   [[x=1,y=-3],[x=1,y=3]]

In the second example, solve calls algsys. But algsys doesn't generate the %tX labels.

Probably programmode should just be expunged. There are too many ways to solve equations, and I don't think it's worth the effort to try to extend each of them to handle programmode.
