  Nope.  I haven't seen it, and it's not in any standard.

  Only if you go out of your way to create a vendor dictionary with vendor ID 0, and then an attribute 0, and then manually add it to the configuration.

  If that attribute is coming from a NAS, then the NAS is broken.

  FreeRADIUS may make mistakes internally, it doesn't create bad RADIUS packets.
