Hi,

I believe this change broke other related behaviour - referencing blank cell.
Having empty cell A1 I whould expect formula "=VALUE(A1)" to evaluate to zero,
instead it now returns "#VALUE!". Interestingly enough, chaining reference
(empty A1, B1 = "=A1", C1 = "=VALUE(B1)") works well.

I don't know if this behaviour (value on reference to empty cell evaluating to
zero) is desired - I could confirm that LibreOffice and Excel 365 does that.

I've created pull request https://github.com/apache/poi/pull/397 to illustrate
the issue (and potential fix).
