@Mentalist I think the safest technique is to use a material node without a material (set material to None), with no faces selected. This way if there wasn't a material slot, you add one and assign all geometry to no material. At least if that's what you want to do.

So basically, if Set Material isn't working as expected, we can try adding an empty slot on the original object. OR run the original geometry through two Set Material nodes - the first one with no material specified (to generate the empty slot), and the second one specifying the material we actually want to assign. | |

Not sure if this behavior is intended or a bug (as of ver 3.0.1). Here's a .blend to demonstrate. | |
