Yeah, after thinking about all that was said in this thread, the empty
string is the only thing that makes sense to me.
IMHO, your patch as-is is a strict improvement. Mine on top (to handle
the "-local" cases) is optional, but I think worth doing. It makes the
rule easy to understand and explain ("-local" makes %Z behave as
expected, and the non-local variants leave it blank because the
information isn't present).
