This is mentioned in the relevant commit message (4b93f5799):

    ...  A lesser, but still real, annoyance is that ROW format cannot
    represent a true NULL composite value, only a row of per-field NULL
    values, which is not exactly the same thing.

In the case you're showing here, a true NULL got changed into ROW(NULL)
by the old code, but that no longer happens.
