  If it's sending zero-length attributes, it's violating RFC 2865:

...
      text      1-253 octets containing UTF-8 encoded 10646 [7]
                characters.  Text of length zero (0) MUST NOT be sent;
                omit the entire attribute instead.
...

  i.e. their local configuration is wrong, AND perhaps their RADIUS
server is broken.

  Yes.  Those attributes are *completely* suppressed.  They're useless,
and shouldn't ever be created.
