Ok I understand!!

I just did the exercise in the pari console.

? A=[0,0,0; 0,0,0;  0,0,0]
%3 =
[0 0 0]

[0 0 0]

[0 0 0]

? mathnf(A)
%4 = [;]

So pari is a bit brain damaged and represents the empty matrix by
[;]!!!
This should be special cased in the parsing routines.

William: I assume it is now trivial for you to correct this. If not
then
I will make a patch.
