a) Skins should be using wfSuppressWarnings(); and wfRestoreWarnings(); to not
have to worry about index warnings.
b) No, they are undefined and there are multiple reasons these should not be
null:
- You will always have to consider the possibility that a key is undefined.
Keys may be provided by an extension and the extension may not be defined. Or
we may decide 
- For the most part keys in content_navigation, personal_urls, etc... are NOT
supposed to be addressed explicitly. You are supposed to foreach over them.
There can be any number of keys that you don't know about. New ones we
introduced and ones added by extensions. The only time you should be directly
addressing keys inside of these arrays is if you are outputting a single one
somewhere else, unsetting it, and then foreaching over the rest.
- Setting values to null as you suggest will actively break existing skins. The
desired standard is to foreach over these arrays. And setting things to null
will causing skins to start outputting dead list items and cause some of them
to completely break as they receive null where they were supposed to be given
link data.

Since changing this will actually break things, I'm marking this WONTFIX.
