As bug#13805 indicates, `read-regexp' should return an empty string when the caller specifies that (car DEFAULTS) is nil. This is like what `read-from-minibuffer' does. But note that `read-from-minibuffer' is even more strict, and doesn't return the default value even if it's specified, i.e. typing RET after evaluating (read-from-minibuffer "Prompt: " nil nil nil nil "default") returns an empty string instead of the default value. This is because its arg DEFAULT-VALUE acts more like a suggestion available for M-n whose values should not be returned for empty input.
