So maybe we class this as a kernel bug and have the kernel

Yes, this sounds right to me. The kernel should not pretend that there
are no attributes when there are attributes. If the kernel doesn't want
to tell us attribute names, it should return -1 and set errno to a value
saying "I don't want to tell you".
I suppose we could add another flag set with -Z,
with which we would enable the "double check" if 0 logic.
-Z is not a usual option, so trying harder in this case should be OK.
