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..
The patch below changes array_recv, so that it returns an empty 1-D array when an empty 1-D array was written binary. No changes in oidvectorrecv or int2vectorrecv are needed.

Make check passes.
