Jim and I investigated this and we discovered that this bug occurs because we
likely misinterpreted the semantics of the “CCode (array_null_terminated =
true)]†markup that we use in GExiv2's VAPI. Specifically, we had assumed
that this markup instructed the Vala compiler to automatically add a
terminating null entry to the array, whereas it now appears that the markup is
just a tag marking the array as null terminated, making the caller responsible
for appending a terminating null to the array argument before invoking the
marked-up function. So we should've been adding a terminating null to an array
argument, but we weren't. This affects code in both the Flickr publisher (as
originally reported) and also in PhotoMetadata.vala.
