Comment (by fbissey):

 I am not completely sure of what is happening there. I need to have a
 control build locally to be sure. The evaluation eventually goes to
 sp_dgemm in C/sparse.c, more specifically this section
 {{{
   else if (sp_a && !sp_b && !sp_c) {

     ccs *A = (tA == 'N' ? a : transpose(a, 0));
     double *B = b, *C = c;

     int j, l, mn_ = m*n, ib = (tB == 'N' ? k : 1);
     scal[DOUBLE](&mn_, &beta, C, (int *)&One[INT]);

     for (j=0; j<A->ncols; j++) {
       for (l=A->colptr[j]; l<A->colptr[j+1]; l++) {

         double a_ = alpha.d*((double *)A->values)[l];
         axpy[DOUBLE](&n, &a_, B + (tB == 'N' ? j : j*n), &ib,
             C + A->rowind[l], &m);
       }
     }
     if (A != a) free_ccs(A);
   }

   else if (!sp_a && sp_b && sp_c && partial){
 }}}
 Notice that in this particular case "partial" is ignored. The issue here
 is that we don't seem to go through scal[DOUBLE] (part of C/blas.c) at
 all. That particular call should replace our F input by beta.d*F where
 beta.d is 0 by default. The fact that this call seem completely bypassed
 explains why it is useless to give a value for beta.
