I never use "clear" so I had to look it up. Clear is a synonym of 
"delete" and only works on objects ("delete this cd", "delete img 1".) 
So that explains why it doesn't work in fields.

I tried scripting a text deletion, but then we're back where we started 
-- scripted text changes don't trigger a closefield.

So in the case of "clear", your first solution is probably workable. I 
guess that explains why I always remove "Clear" from my menus. It's 
become so habitual, I'd forgotten why.
