See the Bash menual (same section):
When not performing substring expansion, Bash tests for a parameter
that is unset or null; omitting the colon results in a test only for a
parameter that is unset. Put another way, if the colon is included,
the operator tests for both existence and that the value is not null;
if the colon is omitted, the operator tests only for existence.
