Comment (by gabrimonfa):

 I've added a crude patch to try to solve the problem.
 (Is this the correct way to provide a possible patch?)

 The idea is simple, to fetch only the attributes of the null-geometry row
 and to mark the feature as not valid to prevent problem with
 rasterization.

 Obviously I don't know if setting mFetchFeaturesWithoutGeom( TRUE ) in
 qgsvectordataprovider.cpp is a good idea, maybe better solutions are
 possible that affects only the ogr provider.

 The patch works with my test shapefiles.
