Yes, if datum is not specified on both sides, or if the two datums pass as
identical, pj_transform() will not attempt to do any kind of datum shift.
So do you imply that we have introduced a bug where specifying a non-null
grid somehow passes as specifying a datum while specifying the null grid
doesn't?
Under all circumstances, I'm not sure how it should be interpreted: we
claim to be on NAD83/WGS84 or whatever looks like it at the meter level. We
will, however, insist on doing our inverse projection on a spherical,
rather than ellipsoidal, reference surface.
In the new API that kind of stuff make sense: We specify what we want done,
and libproj does it for us, no matter how stupid it sounds.
But for the old API, libproj is supposed to figure out what to do?
I'm not sure this case makes strict geodetic sense, but somehow libproj
used to do the right (for a certain definition of right) thing anyway - and
obviously we need to convince it to keep doing that...

I am not sure that is correct, Thomas. See the following output:

It seems to be the combination of +datum=NAD83 in the input system and
+nadgrids=@null in the output system.
When only one (either one) of them is present the transformation is fine.
They are supposed to be treated as being
the same datum, but isn’t. I have an idea where to fix this.

Actually, it seems related to handling of the null grid specificly: When
using the conus grid, the 10 km jump into the lithosphere is avoided
(although we get the 2D correction we ask for, but really don't want):
