This is caused by this commit, which changes how org-split-string works.

    f776e65373fa135fffb51e201698823fbfb3865b

Before (org-split-string "" ",") would return ‘nil’.  Now it returns "".

Depending on whether the new behavior is desired or not, the fix should
either be in ‘org-split-string’ or in ‘org-beamer--format-frame’.  I’ll
wait for Nicolas’ verdict.

For now, if necessary, you can hot-patch the function in ox-beamer.el to
something like,

    (options (cl-remove-if-not 'org-string-nw-p (append ...)))
