As the NUL case is a corner case and preferences don't seem to be widely used then I would think the compatibility impact of the IAE in a major release wouldn't be too significant. I think it should be okay to do it in a follow-on bug if that makes it easier.

I am inclined to check in the approved patch and file a follow-on issue as you suggest.

Thanks,
