This is fixed in the 3.2 branch as follows:

-        if (aValue != NULL)
+        if (aValue != NULL && aValue[0] != '\0')
         {
             HWData::GuestProperty property = { aName, aValue, aTimestamp, fFlags };

It is not yet fixed in trunk, as we want to do a more invasive fix
involving a proper delete API.

Michael
