Comment(by pramsey):

 I think the "right" solution is to get the index to treat the empties as
 nulls, but I'm currently uncertain as to how to do that and wlll be doing
 opengeo and conference stuff for the next couple weeks. This problem
 should also exist in 1.5, so it's not a new exciting crasher, it's been
 around for a while and just get excavated recently, so I'd say there's no
 shame in pushing it forward.
