How about having another cdef which is set to unknown when the data 
is present, and to the upper Y axis limit (or at least some positive 
value) when the data is absent. Then plot this cdef as an area.

That way, when your data is unknown (leave it that way rather than 
set it to zero) it will not be plotted, but a rectangle of a 
different colour will get plotted in the gap. When data is known it 
will be plotted, and your extra cdef will not be plotted as it will 
be unknown.
