I've checked this problem again. It appears now that the new test
framework had a bug in this particular test in that it assumed the
number of fields had to be 0 if a query returned zero rows. In fact,
this is not the case in most database engines. At least MySQL,
PostgreSQL, SQLite3, and Firebird return the requested number of fields
even if no rows are returned. SQLite returns 0 which is apparently a
feature of the 2.x series of SQLite. I can't comment on the other
engines at this time.

So all we need to do on this issue is to fix the test :-/

regards,
Markus
