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.
