That's almost certainly not an intended consequence. I was going to, in
fact, recommend that at the API level, we let the empty changelist name mean
"not in a changelist", and at the UI level we add --without-changelist (as
mutually exclusive with --changelist). I think we could make that change
today without revving a bunch of APIs. Let's just call the current behavior
a bug, because I can assure you that I didn't knowingly add that behavior
when I rewrote this feature, and I betcha Ben didn't choose to allow that on
purpose on his first crack at this, either.
