See my other comment for the details, I believe now that the field was actually not set to null, the returned structure has a union which is documented to be able to be of different types. It's surely the type STRRET_CSTR that wasn't covered by Java, the API is then valid before and after the update, returning the structure with STRRET_CSTR and zeroes in the union is valid.
