Remove extra column title in esttab (Stata)

I'm using estout to prepare regression tables for LaTeX. It seems when storing a nonlinear model, there is an extra row in the output that I can't seem to turn off or remove. As an MWE, consider:

sysuse auto, clear
eststo clear 
eststo: poisson mpg rep78 
esttab, tex nomti nodepvars

This will produce output with a row after the model numbers and before the coefficients with "mpg" (the dependent variable) in the left-most column and the other columns blank. This is not a model title and the nomti and nodepvars options will not remove it.

Oddly, this row does not show up when the regression is OLS. However, this row does appear in the following example with OLS and Poisson, now containing "main":

sysuse auto, clear
eststo clear
eststo: reg mpg rep78
eststo: poisson mpg rep78
esttab, tex nomti nodepvars

I've been through the options in esttab and estout and I can't find any that seem to turn off this row (I'm not even sure what purpose it might serve). Any ideas how to get rid of this row?

@Dimitriy has posted the solution.

As a side note, consider why this is happening:

The matrix of coefficients for regress looks like:

. matrix list e(b)

e(b)[1,2]
        rep78      _cons
y1  2.3842975  13.169421

while that for poisson:

. matrix list e(b)

e(b)[1,2]
          mpg:       mpg:
        rep78      _cons
y1  .11242548  2.6692439

estout, esttab, etc. use these stored results, therefore the tables.

Add the option eqlabels(none) to your esttab.
