I'm sure it is innocuous, but I'm debugging some strange problems in an application and my eyes keep dragging towards the "[Amethyst(designer)]" tags...
What is does it do, exactly? What is it's purpose? It shows up on auto-generated handlers (via double-clicking controls), but the function name will match so it doesn't seem like it would be needed to link control to handler... I don't think, anyway.

The answer is 'nothing'.
We put it in to visually mark Designer generated code - sort of a flag saying 'be careful if you mess with this code'. You can of course edit the code all you want, but it's just a visual marker really. We could have used a comment, but sort of had the idea that metadata might be more useful in the future.
