As near as I can tell, doing both things (the \pset null fix and substituting "(none)" for empty privileges) would be an acceptable answer to everyone who has commented. Let's proceed with both patches, or combine them into one if there are merge conflicts.
I'm under the impression that removing the null representation of empty privileges by making them (none) removes all known \d commands that output nulls and don't obey \pset null. At least, the existing \pset null patch doesn't purport to fix anything that would become not applicable if the (none) patch goes in. I.e., at present they are mutually exclusive.
