OK, I will omit it.

I did comparison and it is Expat license as intended in
(guix licenses).

X11 license has aditional paragraph on use of trademarks.

You can have a look here to make your opinion:

https://git.tasktools.org/projects/TM/repos/task/browse/COPYING

I'm not lawyer and I don't feel like authority in this area but

1] I believe that intention of authors is obvious with the URL in the
  end of file. They choose MIT as their license, they used
  opensource.org license list to express their will. And I respect
  their choice.

2] MIT license is also recognized by spdx.org
  https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT

  In my experience openSUSE, Gentoo uses the same license name, Debian
  at least mentions Expat (https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/mit).

So I'd rather not put quotation marks around "MIT license". I'd even like
to have MIT license as alias or separate license.
