If an entity reference to a user is left empty the view displays it as "Anonymous" rather than just leaving the output empty, this is caused by format_username() so can be worked around by disabling "Use formatted username", but this means when there are actually users they won't be formatted either.

Well empty() matches 0, which of course should return the anonymous user.
Manually edited to use the less inclusive is_null() instead.
