When this is gathered it looks like somewhere down the line it is filling in a blank instead of null, now the problem is I can't replicate this myself just happens at a client.

You can't use FOR EACH because goCopiedRec is not a Collection or array. In VFP9 it is an instance of EMPTY class. You could use AMEMBERS() and process the array.
BTW when you SCATTER to name and you have NULL in it the property also have NULL. The debuger just didn't show it maybe you have SET NULLDISPLAY TO [] somewhere?
Check this:

SET NULLDISPLAY TO
CREATE CURSOR crsTest (Fld1 I, Fld2 D NULL)
INSERT INTO crsTest VALUES(1,NULL)
SCATTER NAME aaa
? aaa.FLD2
? TYPE([aaa.FLD2])
INSERT INTO crsTest FROM NAME aaa
