As far as I can see, most internal Tkinter methods use _getboolean(), which 
currently looks like:

    def _getboolean(self, string):
        """Internal function."""
        if string:
            return self.tk.getboolean(string)

I am not 100% sure about this, but I figure that when this was written it was 
intentional that if "string" is an empty string, it should return None instead 
of (back then) 0 or 1. Today this would probably translate into something like:

    def _getboolean(self, value):
        if not value in ('', None):
            return bool(self.tk.getboolean(value))
