Yes, with this commit
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=emacs.git;a=commitdiff;h=9c44569ea2a18099307e0571d523d8637000a153
`completing-read-multiple' ignores empty strings, which was essential
for completion of `siunitx' units.

As I said some messages ago, the best I can think is to copy the last
Emacs implementation before the mentioned commit (making sure return
value for empty input is always nil) for all Emacs versions, so we
should be able to keep the number of versions of
`TeX-completing-read-multiple' as low as two.  The problem will be of
course some more work on our side to maintain the function, if needed.

Bye,
Mosè
