That behaviour is intended and documented[0].

blank and null working on completely different levels.
blank is only for validation in the django code.
null affects the database field.

It's useful if you like to force the user to input something in a field,
but at the same time you have to initialise a model with null at some
other place in your code.
e.g you are importing email addresses, but don't have names in your
current data. You can now easily force the user to set his/her name when
changing settings, without overwriting fields in a form.

Florian
