Steve Dower added the comment:

All registry values are blobs and it's up to the caller to decide how to read 
it - the "types" are hints and are not binding.

I don't mind the default behavior being to trim at the first null, but it is a 
lossy operation on our side and so we really ought to provide an easy way to 
get the true value back. Otherwise, we couldn't easily write scripts in Python 
to detect registry values with embedded nulls :)
