Like theducks said, there's some under handed information hiding is going on behind the scenery to cause the undefined date "01010101T00:00:00' to be presented as 'blank/null/empty/vacuas' - might be Qt.
So where do you see this 'empty string' ?

When printing out the pubdate via a template/plugboard, the pubdate returns as empty, in the sense that the template {pubdate:ifempty(isempty)} will return "isempty". During my tests I reset the pubdate on a book and it stopped showing up in the custom column.
See screenshot of my dedicated library for testing templates on blank records. I play around enough, mostly for other people, that I finally took the plunge. Am I crazy?
EDIT: See second screenshot, for debugging I used
Code:
ifempty(pdate,'[[pubdate-is-empty]] ')
instead of pdate.
