This is covered in http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5844 where I 
have a patch I made to address the issue when a string is used as a boolean.

A string as a boolean is false if it has 0 length. It is true if it is a 
valid UUID. My patch adds an additional condition to the UUID check that 
will return false if the UUID is the NULL_KEY UUID. Anything else returns true.
