Not GP, but let's say that null in the query wasn't a literal but was the result of another query that returned null. Let's say that the query returned null because not user existed who met the criteria specified by the query, but because we were doing a complex join or aggregation or something, we didn't simply get back 0 rows.

In that case it would be a bug if we matched with this errant user who's id is null.
