The problem seems to be that array_recv passes back a zero-dimensional
array, *not* a 1-D array, when it observes that the input has no
elements.  A zero-D array is not part of the subset of possible arrays
that we allow for oidvector.

Yeah, I just reached that conclusion too..

I'm less than convinced that this is worth fixing.  oidvector is not
intended for general-purpose use anyway.  What's the use-case where this
would come up?

I don't see any use case either, but I guess it would be nice to fix for the sake of completeness.
