 Replying to [comment:4 neteler]:

 Then the manual needs to be fixed. (It also doesn't state that empty cells
 have NULLs thus manual is not contradicting current behaviour.)
 How about adding a simple sentence "Empty cells are marked with 0 (will be
 changed to NULL in GRASS GIS 7.1.0 release)."?

 I would say - fix documentation, add to GRASS 7.1 changes and close this
 issue.
