I don't believe it was meant to be inconsistent, but I agree it could be confusing. All of the prior discussion is talking about the C intrinsic interface which has two pointers, the pointer to load from, and the outparam pointer for new_vl. All mentions of a pointer being null were only ever meant to refer to the outparam pointer.
