It’s inconsistent and means I need to write special case code to check for it, when before I could choose to. It should return an empty array.

null array sounds like it's an array (presumably an empty one), it would have been clearer if OP had said null instead.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted - that was how I read it as well.
