First off, resolving ticket because the Null PMC access is gone, and that's
what was reported.
Secondly, I think the above behavior is right. The error message comes from
correctly finding and dispatching on the declared proto, and then correctly
complaining that no declared multi (of which, as it happens, there are none)
matches.
