I know at least some platforms had issues with empty subject names.

That's a good point. For example, OS X has this limitation: a leaf certificate 
with an empty distinguished name, but has subjectAlternativeNames as a 
non-critical extension will be rejected.

Which is in line with X.509 2012 edition, and RFC5280 (it has been so since 
RFC2459).

Similarly, a leaf certificate that asserts the CA bit with an empty subject 
will also be rejected, unless it's flagged as accepted that the leaf can be a 
CA (mostly, this arises with self-signed certs).

Again, this is correct behavior, and is not a limitation.

Cordialement,
Erwann Abalea
