I have a feeling that very few people use that icon to open adjustment layers. If you use the Adjustment Layer panel instead, then Alt clicking works.

Another approach is to set the Image Adjustment shortcuts to Adjustment Layers instead of the default, applying directly to the layer. Most of use Adjustment layer far more than direct adjustments after all. Setting your shortcuts like below will default to opening the naming dialog with the Adjustment Layer.
