Well, when I first got that valve I thought as you do. But have a look at that
second photo.
And, because of a previous discussion after I sent the valve to Jeremy, we have
had him look at it closely - he agrees; definitely solid glass at those cut off
tips.
I have a second one somewhere but it is horribly buried so that isn't an option
at the moment.
I had really wanted them to be open because I was interested in other
conduction paths for certain connections if the whole things was gas filled.
Haven't tried lighting it up with a proximity voltage or microwave.

OK... so why a getter in this one? All the little NEON tubes are each
already sealed.
I don't think they're sealed. I think their tips are open to the main
enclosing envelope.
