Mike, it was just the difference between what the doc (the README) seemed to say, i.e. default value of OUTPUT_COLLECTIONS being null and what actually happened. I have no use for this collection for the time being, but given, as you say, that they are cheap, I can happily ignore them.
Thanks to Mark and Nivaldo for suggesting workarounds. cheers, Jakob.
