I've also noticed this behaviour, where a null-TU gets returned when parsing failed. It's usually unrecoverable for clang, and the only way to debug it is to turn on the option to write messages to stdout/stderr. I never got around to ask it, but is there a way to get these error messages even when the TU is null? I mean, the only way for e.g. an IDE to handle  this is to silently ignore it, and that's not very helpful...
