I am not sure.

On my system (bash version 2.0.05) when I echo an uninitialized
variable that has been declared with -i I get an empty line. I
avoid the problem by always initializing variables before I use them.

The man page does not say. I assume it is NULL.

BTW

Almost as soon as I sent my first response I realized that I had not
put in the wildcard character. I decided that Jack could probably
figure it out. I am glad to see I was correct.
