You're right. I only tested that the object created had a null __proto__:

> n = Object.create(null);
undefined
> n.__proto__
null

That's nice, but trying to assign a property of __proto__ to it fails:

> n['__proto__'] = "foo"
'foo'
> n['__proto__']
null

WTF. That's still a problem. Object.create(null) solves nothing.
