D'oh. I missed this bit:
Sixth arg DEFAULT-VALUE, if non-nil, should be a string, which is used
as the default to ‘read’ if READ is non-nil and the user enters
empty input. But if READ is nil, this function does _not_ return
DEFAULT-VALUE for empty input! Instead, it returns the empty string.
I'll go over that commit and revert the bits with a nil READ.
But what a... strange interface.
