A box of height 0pt is theoretically possible although I'm not sure why anyone
would want it (it's much less useful than an automatic height box).

The right solution is to test for Length.empty() but there is not way to enter
it at the moment in the box. I have some spare time now to look at it so if you
can point me at the code handling the box I believe I can come up with a fully
correct solution that would also allow entering a height of 0. It requires
adding a measurement type of none and setting the default value to it on an
empty box instead of 0pt
