There is no null symbol with special meaning in Scheme indeed. It is
introduced purely to allow formatting Org tables in Scheme output:
**** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
This new custom option allows to use a empty list or null symbol to
format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
So, I am not sure about your docstring change.

Note that the docstring still talks about "list or tuple".
I am wondering how tuple look like in Scheme.
