Seems like a good change to me.

I added the fullname field in source.c, there was no good reason then
for dropping the field if we got NULL back except that (1) it matched
the behaviour in stack.c, and (2) if we got null back then I'd have just
left the field empty which didn't feel very useful.

I agree.
