My experiments confirmed this as well. Using specific timestamps,
everything worked fine, but using N caused the NaN values to be stored
as 0.

Here you can compare the same data being entered into the RRDs (the same
exact script is used). One rrd was made with 1.0, the other with 1.2.
Both rrds are updated using 1.2.

The 1.0 rrd: http://tepedino.org/rrd/weather-clt.php

The 1.2 rrd: http://tepedino.org/rrd/test/weather-clt.php

Same update scripts, same graphing scripts, same create scripts, except
I changed which version created the rrd in each case.

If you want, I can provide the scripts used, but I think Ralf's script
was a simpler proof of concept.
