Yup, there was an issue that was reported and fixed fairly recently pointing
out that for-of was inconsistent with for-in in this respect.
for-of statement iteration always ignored undefined/null (always =
since it was added in rev6). I've only requested in [1] to align
for-of iteration in statements and comprehensions to have the same
behaviour w.r.t. undefined/null.
