Yes, I think that this is probably best addressed by a default value for
property printouts in queries. Using the existing printout parameter syntax,
the appropriate way of supporting this would be 

{{#ask: [[X]]
| ?y |+default=No values for y
| ?z |+default=No values for z
}}

Unfortunately, printout parameters are not currently supported by Special:Ask.
It is also not so clear how this would fit into the internal architecture
regarding datatypes. Some formats like timeline expect Type:Date properties to
return dates, but the default value would probably rather be a Type:String
value.

If these two issues can be addressed, it seems like a useful feature to
implement.
