We could add a special value, let's call it sys.NULL, whose specific semantics are "turns into NULL when passed into builtins". This would solve the problem but it's really, really awful.

That doesn't smell too bad too me -- I would prefer to be able to build up all such calls programmatically for testing purposes (e.g., to ensure identical semantics for all code paths between a Python reference implementation and a C extension).
