I'm afraid this doesn't help me.  The doc strings says:

  Every item in the list is a function that returns
  a string, or a list of menu-item elements, or nil.

I now have a good idea what to say about return values that are
strings and those that are lists of menu items.  What do I say about
return values of nil? what is their effect on the tab bar's
appearance?  Are you saying that there's no effect whatsoever?
