Hm. You pass in a NULL key. The docs say that a NULL key indicates that we should reuse the existing key. With a new CTX, there is nothing to reuse, so it seems reasonable that the call should fail.
If you actually wanted to set up the context with an empty key, you'd have to pass in a dummy key buffer with a 0 length. This is awkward, otoh, I'm not really sure why you'd want to do that in practice, so perhaps it's not terribly important? It's not a great API but we're bound by the documented contract. So I'm closing this as Working As Intended. If you think I got it wrong, please reopen.
