I am looking into this right now.  It looks like under some
circumstances it stores 'NULL' as the spoolfile name instead of NULL.
I suspect this is caused by our efforts to get rid of sql injection in
1.2.0 and this is probably a long-standing bug.  I am also noticing
however that on top of this, there seem to be issues printing
legitimately queued transactions.  I am looking into these now and
will get you an answer shortly.
