Yes, e seems to be loosing its special !null status and becoming just a
normal undefined variable somewhere along the line:

pro proptest::GetProperty, something=s, empty=e
s = [1,2,3]
e = !null
help, e
end

And then:

[334]> p = proptest()
[335]> help, p.empty
E UNDEFINED = !NULL
<Expression> UNDEFINED = <Undefined>

It is OK to return normal undefined variables (like above), but not to
use them in an assignment.
