I thought so as well, but it seems that the header line is displayed
even when the value of `header-line-format` yields nil, if it isn't
plain nil.

So this shows an empty header line:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq-default header-line-format '(:eval nil))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(In Emacs master with -Q.)
