It turns out I'd accidentally introduced a Data = "" in the source 
function that triggered the error as opposed to the original 
undimensioned array which correctly returns an empty string.
It must have been pure luck that I've not noticed it breaks with an 
explicitly empty array until now...
Thanks for everyone's comments.
