Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, forget my last mail, *now* I get it.

In the case of 'Node-action: add', the file automatically has 0 bytes
at birth. But this was a case of 'Node-action: change', with
Content-length of 0 bytes -- meaning that the zero bytes must be
pushed as a *change*, as the next revision of the file!

Wow, great catch!
