>From struts-config_1_1.dtd description of <form-property> initial attribute: 
"String representation of the initial value for this property. If not specified, 
primitives will be initialized to zero and objects initialized to null."

>From ActionServlet javadoc, "convertNull - If set to true, the numeric Java 
wrapper class types (like java.lang.Integer) will default to null (rather than 
0). (Since Struts 1.1) [false]".

If you make the effort to turn on convertNull and then specify a property with 
no initial value, a NPE should be exactly what you expect.  Changing to an 
enhancement request for a more descriptive NPE error message...
