As far as MediaWiki is concerned, a namespace is just a semi-arbitrary number and any number "exists". But if the namespace doesn't have any name configured, various things will break (e.g. pages in the namespace won't be finable in many usual ways, and trying to construct a title for these pages will give nonsensical results as seen here) due to lack of a name mapping for the namespace number. It's similar to the reverse problem when a new namespace is created (or when bugs like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87645 happen), a page exists in the default namespace but can't be accessed in the usual ways because its title now refers to a page in a different namespace.
