I haven't thought off this yet. The attached v3 of my initial patch does that. It also includes Laurenz' fix to no longer ignore \pset null (minus the doc changes that suggest using \pset null to distinguish between default and empty privileges because that's no longer needed).
Thank you.
It looks good to me as-is, with one possible nit.
I wonder if it would be clearer to say:
"If the Access privileges column is *blank* for a given object..."
instead of "empty" to avoid having both "empty [string]" and "empty privileges" present in the same paragraph and the empty string not pertaining to the empty privileges.
