These are inconsistencies in your user data - you should have your own
policy whether you always use a language code for a certain field or
not.

The inconsistency between NULL and empty string is DSpace's fault
because different processes (submission/edit/import methods) are not
consistent in what they put in by default. Sorry about that, we should
fix it, it's just low priority.

Anyway, the Batch Metadata Editor makes it extremely easy to move data
between these columns, and re-import them. Moving a data value from
the dc.title[] column to dc.title and leaving the value under
dc.title[] empty will do what you'd expect - create a new metadata
value with NULL language and get rid of the metadata value with empty
string as language.
