I'm not sure whether returning an empty result is the correct behavior  
by design, but returning arbitrary records on a null reference key  
definitly is not.
Throwing an exception could be considered a bug fix instead of a BC  
break, but returning an empty result sounds feasible too. If we are  
going to throw an exception, than rather in the case where the linked  
record is missing, than when the link is NULL.
It would speed up implementing a solution if you could create unit  
tests for those two cases.
