SUMMARY
If I errornously have assigned a name to a detected face, I would be happy to remove my assignment and return the face to "unknown" or "unconfirmed".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run face detection
2. On an unknown or unconfirmed face, assign a name
3. Try to remove the name (not the face rectangle!)

EXPECTED RESULT
There is an operation (right-click menu or in the corners of the thumbnail) to unassign a name from a face rectangle.

OBSERVED RESULT
No such operation found.

When you open the preview image, you can click on the name label under the face rectangle and enter a new name.

Yes, I know this. 
If I process many picures, I'd like to unassign a face (because at the time I don't want to think who that is), not to re-assign.
Picasa had that function "Remove from album" which acted exactly like "unassign".
